Keep in mind i am only sugesting this as a short term fix, till whoever gets tired. You would pass all IP's of non-suspect users and hold the suspect
for your approval. Perl could extract this so non-suspect IP's would have no delay and get approved
at once. Keep in mind also that major ISP's have several class C network blocks for dial up users, we have 10 Class C's for this, so give me an IP and I can tell you all the network addresses owned by the org and which are for users.I don't do Perl yet but Racer does, you could contact her if you need help with scripting to do this.
