I want to ban a block of ip addresses .
continuous range from 77.0.0.0 to 95.255.255.255

how do i write this in my .htaccess file ?

thanks

someone told me i have to do it like this:

order allow,deny
deny from 77.0.0.0/8
deny from 78.0.0.0/8
deny from 79.0.0.0/8
deny from 80.0.0.0/8
deny from 81.0.0.0/8
deny from 82.0.0.0/8
deny from 83.0.0.0/8
deny from 84.0.0.0/8
deny from 85.0.0.0/8
deny from 86.0.0.0/8
deny from 87.0.0.0/8
deny from 88.0.0.0/8
deny from 89.0.0.0/8
deny from 90.0.0.0/8
deny from 91.0.0.0/8
deny from 92.0.0.0/8
deny from 93.0.0.0/8
deny from 94.0.0.0/8
deny from 95.0.0.0/8
allow from all


is this correct ?
isn't there an easier way ?

for instance in my forum all i have to do is "77-95.*.*.*" and it would deny all of above,
can i do it this way in my .htaccess file ?
