blocking Russian traffic?

[DialerEntertainment]

Is there something I can put into my .htaccess to block traffic from particular countries? (i.e. Russia)

Thanks in advance.

Here's one way to block Russian traffic. Personally I wouldn't block it, I'd redirect it somewhere else if I didn't want it.

will that block only russian traffic? and how do I redirect it?

[mr. mpg]

Give this a try...
This will cause your machine to deny all traffic from .ru and cause it to generate a 403 error.
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
<Limit GET>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from .ru
</Limit>

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomain.com
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.yourdomain.com
