Default Re: Search Bots Eating Bandwidth

Webnauts, I know you posted a very lenghty .htaccess file on another thread. Does having such a large file slow things down, such that good users are hindered?

We seem to be having quite a few different IP addresses seemingly attemtp to attack our form posting (I made a post about this in a different thread). The IP address only appears once and then a different address is used. Seems like it would be incredibly difficult to stop all of them.

Plus, can't everyone who uses a larger host like AOL or Yahoo/SBC/ATT be showing a single IP address and blocking that would hinder the good people from seeing our site?

Oh, the joys of "success". :O)

cd :O)
