Blocking IP

Is there anyway I can put an access list to block a certain IP before it hits my Web server ? Some idiot is running a DoS on my server and right now my only option is to put his IP in the .htaccess deny list.
However, with 100-200 hits a seconds, it took up CPU from other users and disk space(logs) and I don't want to get moved because I used too much CPU.

Thanks

yep, use a text editor to create a plain text file. In the htaccess file put:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 0.0.0.0
Allow from all

Just replace the example ip address with the one you wish to deny. Windows does not allow an extention without a files name so save the file as .htaccess.txt, upload the file then rename it by removing the .txt and you should be done.

E-mail support, let them know what is going on. You might also want to consider contacting his ISP.

I'm already doing the .htaccess. But I'd prefer to block on the firewall side, ie. ipfilter so I do not waste any ressource to process the logs, or overload the apache server in processing those request.

Make a note of the IP address and email support, I am sure they'll resolve the issue pretty quickly.
