In the last time i get hundres of hits during a very small period of time, and everytime from the same domain:
xxx.proxy.anonymizer.com
Seems to be a attack???
If they go on, they will probably kick me from my provider, because of the bandwith.
So my questiom: Is there a server-bbandwith-friendly way of locking them out (something like an entry in .htaccess?)
Thank you for your help

Why not notify your provider and ask them for assistance?

Here's a suggestion if you REALLY want to block that domain.
Get the IP address of whatever server he's coming in on...
Add this line into your htaccess file
deny from ###.###.###.
(replace ### with whatever his IP numbers are) and it should work.. I've done it on the matrixchat server, and it's worked...

Okay, its works fine... Thank you a lot
But I am not complety satisfied. So my next question
My .hatccess now looks like
ErrorDocument 403 /cgibin/.../error.cgi?403
ErrorDocument 404 /cgibin/.../error.cgi?404
ErrorDocument 500 /cgibin/.../error.cgi?500
deny from ???.???.???.???
deny .....
Okay so far so good. Now I further want to track the
.htaccess generated 403-errors (forbidden). So I have to exclude the file "/cgibin/.../error.cgi" from the "deny" rule.
But how?
Thank you for help
