Hello all,I've got a server with name based virtualhosts. I am getting spammers from various countries and would like to block these IP ranges. But I can't seem to figure out how to block them. How can I block them by default for the entire server? Where do I put the:<Directory> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Deny from ip range ... Deny from ip range </Directory>I've tried putting them in the main apache.conf and in an .htaccess file (in a vh) but I still see the spammers logging on and spamming from ips' in the list.Thanks for any help steering me in the right direction.

You could use mod_geoip, though I have never tried it.I have written an article on the same thing, blocking ips by countries to the whole of server, not only apache at http://www.itech7.com/Firewall/Blocking-IPs-by-country-using-IPSet-and-IPTables In case you chose the second one, just ensure that you run depmod after make install. If ipset command says 'module not found' or something similar run modprobe ip_set and add ip_set to the list of modules to be loaded on boot.
