There's nothing on the webserver except a test site I use. Just trying to keep out the ones that ignore robots.txt

If its just a test server, then I'd be tempted to use HTTP AUTH at the top level. Most robots will be blocked by that, and you can use iptables to

block

the ones that try to guess your password, perhaps with fail2ban.

[Thomas E Dukes] I have thought about that as well.

I do have fail2ban installed as wells as denyhosts.

Thanks!!
