What version of DSpace are you running?  Recent versions can also
recognize spiders by regular expression matching of the domain name or
UserAgent: string.  (However, that only works for new entries.  I've
recently found that some of the tools for loading and grooming the
stat.s core don't use SpiderDetector and are oblivious of these newer
patterns.)

That depends on what is considered graceful.  The code (in
org.dspace.statistics.util.IPTable) accepts patterns in three forms:

  11.22.33.44-11.22.33.55
  11.22.33.44
  11.22.33

Addresses in the first form may be suffixed with a CIDR mask-length,
but it is currently ignored.

If I've understood the code, a range (the first form) is assumed to
differ only in the fourth octet.  It will match all addresses between
"44" and "55" within the /24 containing the start of the range.

The second form is an exact match of a single address.

The third form is a match of the first 24 bits -- an entire Class C
subnet.

There is no provision for IPv6.
