Cool idea. Convert ip matches to fixed patterns before matching a fixed regex. The leftovers like shaw cable (which has the MAC address of the cable modem instead of the IP) can still be handled with regex patterns. I had an idea last night to compile 254 regexes, one for each possible last IP byte - but I think your idea is better. Mitja suggested a socring system reminiscent of SpamAssassin. That gives me a few things to try. -- Stuart D. Gathman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Business Management Systems Inc.
