My blog keeps getting hammered by this cursed Omni-Explorer bot

http://spamhuntress.com/wiki/Omni-explorer

I put 'deny from ip' entries in my httpd conf file and that seems to 
have backed
it off for now - however I understand from the writeup that it will 
switch IP
ranges within  Hurricane Electrics blocks and user agents, so I suspect 
it will
be back. Is there any way to stop it from doing its thing without just 
blocking
all the IPs  from Hurricane Electric?
