But why bother with deny? Just send a blank text file (or one with as minimal data as needed to satisfy the rogue adblock) to the "blocked IPs" to mitigate the traffic for now. If firewall access exists, just drop the offending incoming traffic entirely.

The sent http body was blank, but I beleive we were still sending http head...

True, but the service we were using at the time didn't have a L3 firewall, and so we ended up moving out, after paying the bills in full, of course.
