htaccess: denying Donekoserv is not effective

[E.G. Fluge]

Hello,

in may .htaccess I have the rule:

Deny from 91.201 #Donekoserv
#Deny from 91.201.64 #Donekoserv
#Deny from 91.201.65 #Donekoserv
#Deny from 91.201.66 #Donekoserv
#Deny from 91.201.67 #Donekoserv

New: first line
Older: following lines beginning with #

Problem:
"new" rule and "older" rules do not lock out Donekoserv of my site.
It visits me for example as 91.201.64.27

Is there a more effektive method to lock out Donekoserv ?

Thx in advance
E.G. Fluge

Apache configuration rules can not prevent it from trying to
access your site. However, if the rule works, they would get a
"403 Forbidden" response. That's how deny rules work.

Only firewall / ipfilter rules (in the server, or in the router in
front of it) can prevent the IP request packets from reaching your
apache daemon.

Hi E.G. Fluge:

The top-most Deny Rule is missing a '.' after the 201.

It *should* say 91.201. (note the terrminating period '.')
