Go for it. IPBanFilter is an unfinished thought. - Dave

We have been seeing a lot of comment spam on blogs.sun.com and so I
wanted to add in a little more comment spam protection for those
users that want it. I have a few small changes ...
1. Add a new utility class called IPBanList which manages a list of
banned ips in a file on the filesystem.
2. Rewrite the IPBanFilter to use the IPBanList. Map the filter to
the comment servlets by default, but disable it via the config
file. Users would have to enable it in their config to use it.
3. Touch up the CommentServlet a bit and add a little code that
does throttling checks to see if a client has posted too many
comments in a given period of time.
Pretty simple stuff and it will be disabled by default and
controlled from the config file for people who want it.
