Yahoo slurp spiders and trashing my website, I have about 200+ spiders crawling around and robots.txt will not elimate them, bastards have been killing my VPS for over a week now! I know there ip string is 74.6.x.x but I need to know how to ban that IP set via SSH. I tryed to use the command:
/etc/apf/apf -d 74.6.*.* but that didnt work.. Is there anyway for me to do this?

In /etc/hosts.deny add a new like like:
all: ip.address.here
That should do it.
EDIT: Hmm, I tried it and it didn't work. That's what I use to block people trying to get into ssh, I figured all: (instead of just ssh: ) would have blocked them totally.

If you are on cPanel servers, you may consider CSF.
It is way better than APF, Free as well and continuously updated.
You can also control all its settings through WHM control panel.

I think .htaccess file must help you much with it.

Put this in an .htaccess file.
order allow,denydeny from 74.6.
allow from all
