People might want to consider doing something like this, I 've had literally 100's of yahoo bot sessions on my website hostings at any given time before banning them. The IP block is 74.6.0.0-74.6.255.255 and is all owned by Yahoo, so you can be sure you won't be banning anyone else.
EUKHost people could probably let us know if they noticed anything related to yahoo? |
Yahoo, Google, MSN and other trusted bots make no problems for the servers or
website hostings. They simply crawl text on
website hostings and they ensure that the servers are not overloaded.
Bot which was crawling
website hosting ( culprit ) was quite different as it was constantly being blocked by mod_security on the server but his sessions were not blocked as mod_security cannot block sessions. every 32 bit system has got this bug of 32,000 files limit per directory and once you get more than 32,000 files in a single directory then the inode structure fails.
