I am having trouble blocking a bad bot. I set a bad_bot routine using BroswerMatch for a different bad bot, that works, but this bot pretends to be a regular user, but it's a bot - the User-Agent looks like a regular browser. I tried blocking via IP, but my host routes traffic through a proxy, so the IP is their IP and not the bot's. X_FORWARDED_FOR is the bot's IP. Any way to block this bot? Thanks.
Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
IP: 66.148.68.15
(HopOne Internet Corporation (66.148.64.0 - 66.148.127.255)
I know this is a bad bot by the way it hit my site and how it keeps accessing one RSS feed over and over again - hard to explain. Google searching says other people have the same problem with this range.

You might have to write a Perl handler which will be invoked by apache to handle requests from a banned IP list.
The other simple ruse is to use PHP to deliver the RSS feed and add a routine which looks at the $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] IP and compares it with a banned list before delivering the page.
