hmm... a text file is just a list of IP's.  A cfm file is executable
programming code.

How is a text file any easier to update than an application.cfm file?

  You can do it in your application.cfm file.  I did this on our blog
recently
  to block blog spammers.  Just create a structure that has the blocked IP's
  in it (can cache in application scope if it's a big structure) and on each
  request check if structKeyExists(badIps, cgi.remote_addr) and if so abort.
  Can get fancy and read the list from a text file to make it easy to
update.

  HTH,
