Excessive links from porn site

There is a porn site accessing my home page over 1,200 times a day under at least 30 constantly changing aliases. My site previously had a referrer page which I believe made it a prime porn target. I've emailed the owner of the site and told him to stop, which he simply ignored. The porn site is based in Australia and I'm in the US, so I'm not sure if there is any legal, and cost effective, action I can take.

Anyone have any ideas?

Ban the IP address!

The referrer report isn't listing an ip address for this site. It looks like the name of the host service provider. Within this name are numbers that look like an ip address. I've tried a "deny from" using these numbers as the ip, but it doesn't work.

Problem is fixed. The imbedded numbers were the ip address - I had my allow,deny order wrong. Now I just have to hope my error log doesn't fill up. This guy is hitting my site 4 times a minute!

Now I just have to hope my error log doesn't fill up.

I found, at least on my server, that using mod_rewrite will not cause the 403s to write to the error_log.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^xx\.xx\.xx\.xx$
RewriteRule .* - [F]
