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"
85.118.32.254 - - [13/Oct/2005:16:52:27 -0400] "GET /society/rdf.rss
HTTP/1.0" 200 9842 "-"
"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...

Why should it be misconfigured? After all its a rss resource that the
client is loading...

If you are positive that you want to ban this IP then you have to place
the den directive into the correct context and be sure to have defined
your Order correctly.

Hmm.. logs show 85.x.x.x whereas you blocked 88.x.x.x. A typo in
configuration, or a typo in message?
