one of them is the honeypot which we put into admin tools..!!

I don't understand what you mean with this. The Project HoneyPot integration works at the DNS level, exactly because they want to reduce traffic flow (DNS queries are cached and much more lightweight than HTTP requests). It never shows any HTTP traffic which means that AWStats (which is where, I guess, you copied these lines from) do not report traffic for Project HoneyPot lookups. Not to mention that the hostnames I see have nothing to do with the Project HoneyPot lookup service to begin with!

Admin Tools does not have any feature which will cause a third party site to access your site over HTTP (which is what AWStats reports). It would be kinda pointless, wouldn't it? The idea is to block unnecessary traffic, not inflict an extra 18Gb of it per month.

I think you are confused as to what you did with Admin Tools, what you see in AWStats and what you want to do. I also cannot deduce what kind of traffic is caused by the three domains / IP addresses you pasted here. This is something you have to see in the drill-down views of AWStats and decide if it's legitimate traffic or a bot.

If it's a bot and really makes so many thousand requests per month (about 25,000 per day) I would recommend blocking the IPs using .htaccess, not Admin Tools. Using .htaccess is more efficient –meaning: less slowdown on your server– for blocking high frequency access. The reason is that Admin Tools has to wait for Joomla! to boot up, read the blocked IPs from the database and block traffic. .htaccess works a very long time before PHP has even the chance to load, making it faster by one to two orders of magnitude.

For more information on blocking IPs using .htaccess please refer to http://www.htaccesstools.com/block-ips/ If you are already using Admin Tools' .htaccess Maker paste the generated rules in the custom directives to place at the top of the file and remember to regenerate the .htaccess file for your rules to have any effect. If you are managing your own .htaccess you should paste the generated rules right below your .htaccess file's "RewriteBase" line.
