This, and keeping a record of IP addresses that were already listed in error once (some kind of grey/whitelist). Each time a grey/whitelisted address is scheduled for auto-listing, a script or even a human should have a look at this before relisting it again. This wouldn't prevent them from initial mistakes, but it would help reduce the kind of DoS attacks they are being subject to right now. > Ted -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
