I am heading out for a meeting very quickly so I don't have time to give you a detailed response now, but there are any variety of automated server based codes that this nimrod could be using. It could be as simple as a wget command set with cron or something more complex.
If it is not through http (or apache), htaccess codes are a meaningless defense as they are functions enabled at the httpd level by apache.
The first thing I suggest is a server level firewall - I use apf. If you know what that is and have shell access, go to the apf deny hosts (or the config file, I don't recall which off the top of my head) file and block his c-class. If you don't know what I am talking about, read on...
So, before I go into detail on all of your options, I will assume you don't know anything about server firewall installations. Answering the following questions will enable me to give you some detailed help.
1. Are you on a dedicated, vps or shared hosting service?
2. If you are on a dedicated service, is it managed or unmanaged?
3. Do you have shell access to your server?
If you are on shared hosting or managed dedicated service, tell the tech support guys to block his entire c-class with the server firewall.
If you are on your own dedicated or vps service or the tech guys are clueless about your request (in which case you should consider switching hosting services), let me know answers to the above and I will provide you with some detailed instructions on how to stop this buffoon - later today or tomorrow as I have a full evening schedule.
Regardless of what kind of service you have, there are things you want to do. Just make sure you have shell access to the server.
