Is anyone blocking entire swaths of the internet, like asia/africa/much of europe, and so on? If so, how does one go about doing so - is there a decent list of IP addresses we can just dump into apache's config?

It's really NOT that simple!
1) The list of IP's would need conversion to Rewrite Rules.
2) A simple syntax error may result in a 500 taking down your site (s).

I would suggest Rewrite Rules for some targeted Class A's that are primarily outside your market focus.

Then after your assured that these are functioning, proceed slowly to specific sub-Class (Classes B, C & D's) rewrites.

Making sure to test your website (s) for functionality after the implementation of either each and/or series of Rewrites.
