Question about blocking IP's

Greetings all,
And sorry for newbie question. I was playing around with my PC which
has Vector Linux and Apache installed to it. (Vector Linux is based on
Slackware, pretty much the same)
I tried to block certain IP address accessing the homepage I'm hosting
with apache. I used IPTABLES for this. But I realized that the effect
was short lasting, even I didn't restart or anything.
So my question is, what is the best way to stop a visitor from certain
IP address to my firewall.
Can I simply add the IP addresses to my hosts.deny file? It would be
the easiest way.
I'm using Midnight Commander and the editor of that. I understand I
should leave empty line to end of that file, is that correct?
Thank you for those who bother to write something useful.
.
