Apache isn't compiled against libwrap so putting an entry in /etc/hosts.deny won't work. I'd recommend using ipchains to block them. They will still use bandwidth when they try to connect to your server, but it should help reduce the bandwidth used since they won't be getting responses back from your web server.
