[SATLUG] Denying connections from certain referrers

[John]

Hotlink protection is the term you need to search for. Take a look at
http://www.unixcities.com/apache/index1.html which should give you an idea
of what you need to do.

Subject: [SATLUG] Denying connections from certain referrers


This is probably a really simple question, but I can't seem to google it
very well -- not getting the answer I'm looking for.

I want to block connections to my webserver that come from certain
referrers.  I've been hosting a few videos of Yao Ming highlights for some
folks at a message board I frequent.  Well, someone posted those links on
the hoopschina.com message board, and now they get downloaded over five
times a minute from people referred by that site.  How can I disable
connections that come from that referral URL?

Thanks,

Mark
