Hello all,
I've got a server with name based virtualhosts. I am getting spammers
from various countries and would like to block these IP ranges. But I
can't seem to figure out how to block them. How can I block them by
default for the entire server? Where do I put the:
<Directory>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from ip range
...
Deny from ip range
</Directory>
I've tried putting them in the main apache.conf and in an .htaccess
file (in a vh) but I still see the spammers logging on and spamming
from ips' in the list.
Thanks for any help steering me in the right direction.

You could use mod_geoip, though I have never tried it.
I have written an article on the same thing, blocking ips by countries
to the whole of server, not only apache at
http://www.itech7.com/Firewall/Blocking-IPs-by-country-using-IPSet-and-IPTables
In case you chose the second one, just ensure that you run depmod after
make install. If ipset command says 'module not found' or something
similar run modprobe ip_set and add ip_set to the list of modules to be
loaded on boot.
