Bot Blocking
June 28, 2004 1:25 PM Subscribe
The rather rude Popdex bot has been bugging my referrer log every 5-10 minutes. I wish to block it via a "deny from" in my .htaccess, but the source address, http://h69-10-144-111.n-01.net, fails to resolve to an IP. How do I block this rather obnoxious crawler?
Response by poster: Ah, I suspected that prefix might have been it. Thanks, duckstab. I'm now blocking the bot. And not a moment too soon; it just hit me 32 times in 3 minutes.
