The bot I had, I discovered it would action a 301 redirection, so redirected it to its own IP, which reduced the server load to practically zero.

Ooh, must try that. Generally I just send 'em to 127.0.0.1 if they put me in a bad mood.

Quick look at htaccess suggests that a lot of bots have been making me grumpy in recent months.
