In your hosts.deny, it would be:
ALL : 211.174.53.89

It would be better to add ALL : ALL to your hosts.deny
and then add what you need to your hosts.allow file.

I'm not sure why you were told that a firewall would
'suck up too much bandwidth' though.

You should set up IPtables and think
about getting a hardware firewall.
