getHostByAddr for .htaccess-Files?

I have problems with spam from servers with the domain .kimsufi.com and .SteepHost.Net. I used to block them using the following htaccess-command:

Deny from .SteepHost.Net
Deny from .kimsufi.com

Instead of blocking requests, I'd like to redirect them to a static page (e.g. "access.html" saying "please contact the admin,...") For IP-addresses this works with the following commands:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ###.###.75.51
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ access.html

But how can I use the users' host instead of the IP-address? I tried for example:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^(.*)\.kimsufi\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^(.*)\.SteepHost\.Net$ [NC]

But it did not work,...

Try to replace %{REMOTE_ADDR} by %{REMOTE_HOST}. But it implies to set HostnameLookups to On (or Double), which can slow down your site.

Just use REMOTE_HOST instead of REMOTE_ADDR.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^.+\.EvilDomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ access.html

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
