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.
