I looked into this and decided that htaccess is not adaquate. Too many IPs to list, too slow to process the list.
You want a system that uses "converted" IP numbers. Ie, you convert xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx into a simple number, like 153,996,773. Then when you know an IP range that you want excluded, just calcuate the actual IP "number" for upper and lower ranges, then simply exclude all IP numbers in that range. Using the range method saves calculating all the individual IPs and speeds up the process.
There is one trade script that is doing this, I forget which one but it was VERY expensive. Other trade scripts will soon have similar features I'm sure. Just hang on a few months they'll be everywhere.
