[cobalt-users] blocking a crawler



I've been watching my /var/log/httpd/access logfile and I find that
crawler24.bos2.fast-search.net and crawler7.bos2.fast-search.net keep
accessing the same page on one site all day, every few seconds.

I have tried to contact the admin but have had no luck. How can I block
access to this IP? I don;t think httpd runs under tcp wrappers so I don;t
think putting the IP into /etc/hosts.deny does anything.
