    Angry blocking a not existing uri

    Hi,
    how can i block a non existing html file in htaccess?
    Some good guy is requesting a nonexisting html file from my domain and eating up my sever load. Is it possible to block that file so that apache wont even react on that request?


    The floods come from different ips and always requesting this html:

    GET /paypopup.html HTTP/1.1

    The bandwidth has raised from day to day because i have a 404 error redirect to the main site.

    Thanks

    Best Regards

    MIKE

    Your best bet would be to install mod_security on the server and filter out that page using a SecFilter.
