I think that you are going to have to do it through mod_rewrite. I haven't really tested this so I am not sure if it works. This goes in your htaccess file.

<?php
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^216.103.133.181$[OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^net-werkz.com$ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/denied.html$ 
RewriteRule ^/.* /denied.html 
?>

Then make a page denied.html that says something like the site is temporarily down so as not to anger anyone into thinking that you are blocking them.

Also, my biggest mistake -- it's HTTP-REFERER. Sorry about that.

Anyway, you'll have to figure it out from there unless someone else can help, I'm far into Pure Theoretical for me.

Can I do that in the .htaccess file, and if so, how?

you wouldn't want to block IPs, you'd want to block HTTP-REFERRERs
