10.x.x.x is in the I.A.N.A. according to
http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.plWe are getting hits from folks that we know who are who are using black hole generating web-sites to get to us. I put a ban on 10.%.%.% but was still seeing them on our site... especially in our Library (where most of our intellectual content resides), and realized two things:
1) I had not added the ban check code to the library access files.
2) The ban check code (I think it is from Josh's "Better Ban Mod") had a bug where it was checking for a user id OR an IP. Guests get an ID of zero, so if there was another guest on the site at the same time this person was the result from the query returned more than one row, and the code was only looking at the first one.
So I fixed both, and now it is just a waiting game to see if they show up again.
I was hoping to block in a more authoritative and decisive fashion using .htaccess or something similar... if that won't work, do you have any suggestions??
Thanks!
