Many thanks in advance,

Ian:
As other people have said, using IP's are not really a good solution.
If it was me, I would ask the user to submit their email address.
Then my script would send them an email with a token for them to
click. After they do that, they would be returned to my script and
their email address would be confirmed.
With a confirmed email address, they can vote -- they get only one
vote per email address.
Granted this is an involved method, but email addresses are unique
and thus ensures one vote per email address.
Now, this does not stop someone from getting several email address
and voting several times, but it does slow down mass voting and you
have a record of who voted.
If you want to see how this works, try posting a comment on my web
site under any of the web tips (http://sperling.com).
Cheers,
tedd
