First off, I edited your post to remover your username. No sense putting that out for everyone to see.

Try just banning the IP without doing a redirect. Won't stop them from still trying, but might stop your log file growth.

If this persists, contact support and inform them. Include a section of the log file with the IP number when/if you do contact them.

i already banned ip with htaccess and forward them to custom error page . . . Looks to me like the system cannot find your custom 403 error page. that is what is generating the log entries. either fix that or remove the custom error page line from your htaccess and this will stop.
