I'd like to block specific domains from unresponsive deeplinkers.
Lets say bobsmith.ugly is stealing my bandwidth, how do I block requests from that domain specifically?

Use RewriteCond with the %{REMOTE_HOST} variable if bobsmith.ugly is the client fetching the content, or with %{HTTP_REFERER} if clients are following deeplinks on the bobsmith.ugly site. If the latter case is true, please look through this forum for the many hotlinking threads -- there are some caveats that go with blocking by referrer, especially if multimedia content like video is involved.
