Is it possible to block users from IP adresses with a dynamic file-based blocklist?
So, suppose the .htaccess looks like:
order Deny,Allow
Deny from 123.156.0.1
Deny from 10.0.0.10
Allow from all
Can this list be made dynamic, for example:
order Deny,Allow
[include Deny list here]
Allow from all
Another option would of course be to fix it with PHP, but it is preferable to let Apache handle this.

SecureAuth Dynamic IP Blocking technology prevents the originating IP address from submitting requests after a specified number of failed login attempts using different usernames within a specified period of time. Instead of locking user accounts, it blocks login attempts coming from the IP address.
Block a specific IP address Just change the IP address to the one that you want to block, and then add the code to your site's root . htaccess file.
According to the Apache docs, it doesn't seem to be possible to read values from a text file.
However, you could include a configuration file containing the IP addresses. They would have to be in Apache's conf file format, though.
This should work:
order Deny,Allow
include conf/IPList.conf
Allow from all
It's even possible to include whole directories, even though it's not recommended.
