[cobalt-users] Blocking a Server

["Ian" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Quick question on whether it is possible to block a particular server from
visiting one of our RaQs.

I know it is possible to stop the mail from coming from a particular internet
domain name and email address, but is it possible to block a server from gaining
web pages.

i.e. if the connection or referer comes from hd34.thisserver.net then block and
dont allow access, but any other then let it in.

The reason behind it is recently we are seeing more and more hits from a
particular server monitoring service and it is getting to the point now where
they are grabbing a page from tens of sites every second, it looks like the
server is near enough trawling the entire server to find just one page that
doesnt work.

Tried telling the monitor company, but no joy, so we just want to stop them from
getting in.

thanks

Ian
