Oh fudge, no wonder my mechinations with /etc/hosts.deny have zero long
term effect.
Does apache2 have its own module that would prevent its responding to an
ipv4 address presented in a .conf file as "xx.xx.xx.xx/24" format? These
bots are not just indexing the site, they are downloading the whole site
non-stop, repeatedly and have been for over a week now, burning up what
little upload bandwidth I have, blocking access from folks who might
have a legit reason to want this data. The classic definition of a
DDOS.
I've a request in to join the apache2 mailing list. I've also emailed
postmaster@offender's, but the only answer has been from yandex.ru, in
russian of course. That to me is kin of swahili.
