But how do you block it? 403 is possible, but not what we want.

It looks like there is currently no solution avaible. We are considering writing an Apache module that would allow us to close the connection without sending any info (403) back to the bad visitor. The question is whether Apache 1.3 modules are allowed to close/kill connections like that? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
