I've done similar in a nearly identical situation... though instead of
using that info to consider blocking them, we added additional code to
the page to automatically inflate the prices 25-30%! (in this case,
too, reverse DNS was our friend -- and the competition none-too-smart)
But, I know... it's an entirely different subject/conversation.
