Redirect specific IP to different page

[dartho]

There is a user/site (they always the same IP address) that I want to return a Error 404 type page or a redirect to a different site or just a blank page - basically I don;t what them to see my site at all.

I imagine I would have to edit the GLobal.php file, but am not quite sure how or what to add in ..

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

The Miserable Users hack is ace for doing this

[dartho]

Thanks Calorie - works a treat!!

@Watson - I saw that one, and will install it (looks great!) - but this is aimed at an unwanted "Guest", I got the impression that the miserable users hack was only for registered users who actually log on.

Thanks!
