The iptables firewall will do a good job of banning IPs that try to rip your site! Something like:
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 50 -j DROP
