Apache vs iptables is somewhat a preference.
Though with Apache, chances are good that you would need to ban in
multiple locations, possibly multiple VHOSTs or server wide. (See more
below.)
Either way, the apache would have to access the database where all the
codes are stored or .htaccess file. Or is it easier if I incorporate
the IP addressed into main .config file (in apache)?
I personally prefer to put things in files that are included directly
from the main Apache config file in lieu of .htaccess files. This harks
back to a time when checking for a .htaccess file per page request had
measurable impact. It just seemed easier to put the content in the main
config file and skip looking for and processing .htaccess files on each
request.
I don't know what would be more efficient, storing the data somewhere
outside of Apache and having it check that -or- putting the data in the
config / .htaccess file(s).
