I personally think this is a dangerous route, because IP-blocking only works for a short time. Unless you flush your IP list from time to time, you could be blocking legitimate users.
I agree with you, though this could be easy to turn on when getting flooded. This person almost took down my server yesterday. SpamDOS sucks. That gives me another idea.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
