apache log parser/analyser? > blocking a bot attack?

Im having a problem with bots constantly trying to open a page on a blog effectivly flooding the server, ive temporaily blocked access to the blog which has stopped them overwealming the system however id like to blog them totaly if possible


I have the antidos module of APF running but it doesnt appear to be doing much so far its only blocked one or 2 of the offending ips


The requests from the bots are quite easly reconisable due to the fact they have URLS of "dirty" sites in the refer/user agent. (and most of them seem to have a user agent of wget)

Is there a program that could parse though the apache log and give me a list of the offending IPS that i can load into the firewall to block them apache log parser/analyser? > blocking a bot attack?
