Nexcom: if you're just wanting to block the site(s) from sending you traffic, you can simply block IP ranges in your htaccess file, or drop them right at the router, or use firewall rules, or even IP Tables.
Depending on the amount of sites, htaccess would be pretty inefficient if you're adding half a million IP's. You'd be better off just outright blocking at the server level/router level versus using htaccess per domain.
