is this correct?
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^1.
RewriteRule .* [churchof*****.com...] [F]
but I'd like to actually test on myself, like last night when it worked, but I guessed all my visitors were re-directed too. so I have to remove it. (BTW that IP in increasing its visits)

You think ten requests in ten hours is a lot?
That averages to one per hour.
Wait till somebody sends a couple hundred requests in 30-seconds or you really make somebody upset with your redirects to their site, and just to get even, they hammer your site repeatedly for 6-8 hours.
You open your logs and all you see is multiple pages of same IP, same request and same UA.

gee willikers - can't imagine that, the IP in question is all over the place now, & I'm going to guess some more & re-test as I can't find anything on the web, hit & miss

The alternative is to deepsix the range at the firewall/IP level. More efficient but it takes out legit users and others.

jm - deepsix? firewall/IP level? ya got me there.
Kinda got it working, it redirects, again, to everyone using this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} 1.202.218.8
RewriteRule .* [churchofsatan.com...] [F]
thinking of forgetting all about it. seems there's no-one on the web that has this directive that can find

It is an IP level block, erlandc,
Basically all traffic from the specified block of IPs will be dropped. It uses a firewall program on the server to control access.

thanks for the explanation that I don't really understand.
It doesn't really matter 'cos I can't seem to find any help with this problem.

Rewriting URLs and IPs is in the Apache docs.
[httpd.apache.org...]
Basically you will have to rewrite the IP address as ^1\.202\.218\.8
The mod_rewrite parses the IP address and the ^ tells it to start here (otherwise it would also check 111, 121 etc). The \ before the . is necessary because the "." is interpreted as "followed by".

jmccormac, this is way over my head. trying to follow what ya'll are trying to say, but as I said, I'm no expert on this stuff.
I sent you my link & asked if you got redirected & didn't you didn't answer me, so what can I say? I dated a lawyer for 10 years, & she'd always say to me, "just answer the question", but I won't say that to you 'cos you'd take it the wrong way.
I'll ask someone else. Thanks for your time anyway.

| does escape the period mean delete? |
|
Heh heh, no, it means precede it with a backslash. In RegularExpression-speak, you do this with any character that has a special meaning within Regular Expressions. It means "This is a literal period. I really mean it. Don't try any funny stuff." In mod_rewrite, most often used with periods \. and parentheses \( \) (for example when there are parentheses in the user-agent string).

Well, it's all relative. If you strip out the robots and your log size is reduced by 2/3, that's a lot, regardless of what the actual numbers are. If someone races through so fast that they slam into the server's maximum-allowable-connections ceiling, it doesn't matter if they end up asking for 300 files or 30,000. It's a lot.
Yeah, asking for robots.txt is a dirty trick. Or possibly a feeble attempt at telling you it's really a nice guy after all. Met one just the other day that would have gone straight into the "no skin off my nose" bin thanks to requesting and obeying robots.txt... until I noticed that its total capture was 32 files in 8 seconds. 4 requests per second is not going to crash my server, and 32 is not a large number by any measure, but Nice Robots just don't do that. Take a break, go outside, smoke a cigarette, drink some coffee, make a phone call, come back after one full second.
