If i ban a real ip, then if he/she does +x usermode, i would expect undernet to know they are effectively the same host ... so no one can evade a ban.
however if i banned a +x host , and then the real ip showed up in the banlist instead of the +x host, i think this is not good. but i dont think this is the behaviour? and net, i think we are trying to save the most vulnerable and try to stop the windows95 click and nuke script kiddies from damaging peoples pc's and the like by DoS/trojan/virus tactics and distribution, and of course a clueful operator/user could obtain ones real ip address if they were determined to do so.
