Blocking a range of IP addresses

    This is for a shared hosting account but I imagine the same thing goes into the .htaccess file.

    I may cool off and only block one IP but right now I want to block a whole damn country. If I know the country rage is 59.88.0.0 to 59.95.255.255.

    How do I block all of those IPs using .htaccess?

    If on further inspection of the logs I determine my problems came from a range of those IPs would the syntax be the same?

    And is there anyway to customize the message the ip#s get?

    I'm thinking something along the lines of F***-u at the moment but a calmer mind will prevail.

    TIa and rep is promised.

    Just add the following in your .htaccess:

    deny from 59.88/95

    Wow! that looks like a real shortcut method. Blocks the entire range in one line?

    Thanks.
