I would like to be able to deny specific IPs from ever hitting my
Apache web
server. I can Deny them via the httpd.conf file, but that only stops
them
from getting my pages, they still know the server exists.

I tried via the IP Security Policies in MMC but my test computer still
showed up in the Apache log. Since I have port 80 forwarded through
my SOHO
router to my WebServer, is it possible to actually deny a specifi IP
from
seeing open port?

Any suggestions of a non overly intrusive software firewall, or a
built in
ACL, or filter would be greatly appriciated.


Trying to keep your ISP from discovering you have a web server ?

I know Comcast in the past has often probed looking for that sort
of stuff.
