I do alot of Ip blocks in my business, my iptables has over 800 ip's that
are being blocked because of users committing fraudulant activities. Is
there an alternate solution that I can use rather than having so many ip's
listed in my iptables. Do you know if I can achieve the same results of an
iptables DROP with entering Ip's in the hosts.deny file?

Also I will need to block certain countries as well, for example the
philippines, any idea on how to do this too?

Running 4 Fedora core apache servers....

Thanks,
Jim
