htaccess question

[Dzinerbear]

Hi all,

I still got a lot of hits from the "hot-linker" yesterday. I thought I plugged up all of the holes yesterday with my htaccess file, but I only did that at 9 a.m., so perhaps this traffic is from between midnight and 9 a.m.

Here's my htaccess file. Can someone tell me is it possible to include a line that just bans traffic from footbuddies.com altogether?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.+.mydomain.com/* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mydomain.com/* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.+.mancheck.com/* [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.mydomain.com [R,L]

Thanks
Dzinerbear

I'm no expert, but I think you need .htaccess like this to prevent hotlinking.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.hairyguys.us [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://hairyguys.us [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|mpg|MPG|Mpeg|mpeg|MPEG|rm|RM| swf|SWF)$ http://www.hairyguys.us/404page.html [R,L]
