This needs to be:

-A OUTPUT -i eth0 -d 209.61.231.42 -p udp -j DROP

...if you want to drop packets initiated from your system to that
ip...which doesn't make any sense if you're dropping all the incoming
connection from that ip.

 On why are you still getting packets from that ip... perhaps there's
also TCP traffic?  If you want to completely drop packets from that ip
simply remove the protocol argument like this:

-A INPUT -i eth0 -s 209.61.231.42 -j DROP

HTH,
Jorge

Hi Jorge,

I am blocking UDP and TCP from that IP. I also have an OUTPUT rule however
mine has the -o eth0 as the -i eth0 does not work.
