66.207.120.227 almost bringing down server

[lazerzubb]

This is is hitting one of my servers, and grabbing thousands of pages per second, just though i would let you know if you want to ban it.
It slowed down the server (only personal contact could bring down the server i use :D!)

Useragent is: Mozilla/5.0

Hamilton Hydro like Guelph Hydro are both ISP's.

This line has from my July log.
deny from 66.207.120. 66.207.120.238 07/11/02 "Netsweeper" Netsweeper (NETBLK-FWGH-NETSWEEPER-1) Guelph, Ontario
For some time prior to July I had problems with a anom visitor from Hamiliton hitting pages. This deny resolved that.

I've since had to expand portions higher up in the IP range to include more of Guelph Hydro's users.
BTW Guelph is home of the University of Guelph.

with little regard for bandwidth or webmasters costs and not even providing a thank you or a share in the profits :(
