No iptables except what in the router, which is dd-wrt. But listing their 
addy in CIDR format in hosts.deny is a bunch easier and seems to be 
working. I just wish it was keeping a log so I could see the reaction 
when there was a hit. And bingbot just came to the party.  And yandex is 
hammering at 1 second intervals but no response is being issued.

And its a good thing I made coffee an hour back, now we have no water in 
this neighborhood. No biggie for a few hours, plenty in the fridge for 
my crippled missus.

Thanks Dave, this stuff keeps me out of the bars.
