I have blocked entire IPs in my htaccess file. They dig for things they shouldn't be digging for, generating errors in my log. Almost always, when I do a Arin search for the IP, it's administrated by RIPE in Amsterdam.

I'll bet I have 5 or 6 IPs that are blocked in this manner, because they will eventually find a hole as much as they dig around.

I've had a few people contact me saying they can't see the site from home, but can at work, etc., and I tell them why. My target customer isn't in that part of the world anyway, and while I hate to shut anyone out, it is sometimes necessary. At least they're able to see the site from an alternate location, though.
