Most efficent way of blocking an IP?
What do you think is the most efficent way?A nice complex iptables command that stores in memory, running past a blocked hosts file?
Please post your commands, or anything. Whatever you think is the most efficent way of blocking an IP address. Please keep in mind this may be used to block up to 30-40,000 IP addresses.
(Server side of course, no firewall or anything off server).
