I would use an array of IP's that can be stored in a file then read into an array or list your choice. But first, I would ask, what is the possibility that this may change in the future? That it might not be static IP, I would consider this to be a band aid solution to a major problem, and treat it as such.

Wednesday, February 06, 2002, 8:23:41 AM Hello everyone, I have a site with a simple forum. A situation has developed where I need to ban a few users from posting. Since this was never intended for much, there is no sign in feature to establish users so I'm just going to deny their IP's. It is working fine, lucky for me they seem to have static IP addresses and don't know enough to get around this. But, is there a more elegant way of achieving the following: (ips masked to protect the guilty) <CFIF cgi.remote_addr is "66.xx.xx.xx" or cgi.remote_addr is "66.xx.xx.xx" or cgi.remote_addr is "24.xx.xx.xx" or cgi.remote_addr is "198.xx.xx.xx"> If I had to ban many users, this could get messy!
