That is coming back to the dynamic elitist viewpoint. Just as a sideline question on this, how many corporate machines, on static IP ranges, are running outdated, security wise, IIS machines which are guaranteed to spew crap as soon as anything hits? [ price != competence ] Also, this does not take into account the fact that quite a large amount of dynamic ISP accounts are practically static, except in name. I have no problem with blocking a /24 range if attempts are seen from that block of addresses, (static or otherwise), but I still cannot see the point of penalising dynamic IP's just because they are dynamic, without good cause. If one was going down the OS fingerprinting route tallied to a dynamic IP check, then that might be feasible, but a straight block with no absolute reason?
