Does anyone know how to block an ip using the WebHost Manager?

I blocked his ip (209.152.169.143) with cPanel (but thats only for a single domain)

is there anyway I can block'm using a UNIX command or something?

sorry bout the noob question!

route add -host 209.152.169.143 127.0.0.1

on a BSD based system.

might want to be careful using wildcards like that, you can substitute it with
-net 209.152.169.0 which should route the whole class C to 127.0.0.1

if you know your Operating System name and the firewall type, you would be better using a firewall rule to filter it than the route command to redirect, just route works without knowing the firewall type.
