how to block an ip thru user agent using htaccess?

niceboy

Hi guys,

I know that I can use following for banning a bad bot

Options All -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "Yandex" bad_bot

<Limit GET POST HEAD>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=bad_bot
</Limit>

But, to ban IE6 user agent bots how to modify this? for example I tried following, but it does not block the ip based on UA..

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)" bad_bot

Cany any one help?

thanks for your time.
