Bump for you.

Are you looking to block at a firewall or via .htaccess?

Via .htaccess you can add:

<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx
deny from xxx.xxx
deny from xxx
allow from all
</LIMIT>

To block a specific IP add the whole IP to the deny line. To block a range use a partial IP address.

Yea. Just do a country lookup using the above software and do your redirect based on that. It's as easy as something like:

Code:

include("/other/company/ip_lookup_code.php");
$country = getCountry();
switch($country)
{
   case "UK": 
     header("Location: http://www.badteeth.com;);
   break;
   case "JP"; 
     header("Location: http://www.iwannafuckahotjapanesechick.com");
   break;
  ............
}

Mod_GeoIP and Maxmind's database. The free one is good, the paid versions are obviously better
