Default How to deal with a misconfigured client

Here is a small excerpt from my web log:

85.118.32.254 - - [13/Oct/2005:16:50:47 -0400] "GET /society/rdf.rss
HTTP/1.0" 200 9842 "-"
"Wget/1.10.1-beta1"
85.118.32.254 - - [13/Oct/2005:16:51:44 -0400] "GET /society/rdf.rss
HTTP/1.0" 200 9842 "-"
"Wget/1.10.1-beta1"

"Wget/1.10.1-beta1"

Apparently someone has misconfigured Wget to poll continuously.
I tried adding a
deny from 88.118.32.254
line to the apache.conf file
but it didn't have any effect.
Suggestions on how to block this?
Thanks...
