In the past few months the following sites sucked out from us on average 3GB of bandwidth every month.
No matter what we’ve tried to do to stop them from coming to our site, next month they are coming back for more.

Who are they?
How can we stop them?

Detect the IP or the hostname and redirect them back to their own site. That's the easiest thing, I would think.

Believe me Adam, we tried every trick in the book but SOBs come back for more and more.

How do they manage to avoid pitfalls?
Maybe if we have answer to that, then we can look for solutions

Can you not ban the IP?

What are they loading? Images or all your pages?

How are you banning these hosts? And how much bandwidth does that take? Maybe they got recruited into some botnet?

We're using
RewriteEngine at site level and IPchains to block IP and htaccess to block domain at root

Are they using a proxy server? But then it would show up as some box in Central Asia and not the 2 in your log, right?

Even if they are using proxy, blocking domain should work
