19 I did block this IP and it is working
20 Require not ip 45.93.201.0/24

22 I hardly resolve to blocking IP from log files, but if they try to ping/access your network 4 or 5 per second your log files will tend to grow.
23 SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "45\.93\.201\.104" dontlog
24 didn't work.

26 Just today from about 7am to 4pm about 96K pings from this IP.
