Have already done that. I'm getting about 6,000 web hits a day (all wrong URLs) from a lunatic who I can stop in IP Tables but only if the alleged Centos version is up-to-date.
Has nothing to do with being up-to-date; it has to do with no having the necessary iptables facilities available. Talk to your hoster.
NO I will not. I have already emailed them.
The necessary IP Tables facilities are not available. Therefore, contrary to your strange assertion "Has nothing to do with being up-to-date" that IP Tables version is certain OUT-OF-DATE because the modern parts have not been included !!!
Have a nice day.
