I'd suggest contacting the sysadmin (NOT the management) at the remote site.
Generally speaking, sysadmins are not keen about their "homes" being used in
ways not of their choosing.  Likewise, sysadmins are pretty open to talking
w/ other sysadmins.  If you provide him/her a copy of the script, and any
log info you can, they may happily take up the cause of tracking the twit
down from there.  If the sysadmin blows you off, either they don't care
about their system (not likely) or perhaps they know who's using it and are
covering for them (I have seen this).  If this route hits a dead end you can
always turn to lawyers.

        If the FBI had actually taken this as a case I wonder just when you
might
        expect to get your nameserver back from their evidence locker. Years
I
        would guess. Doesn't seem like much of a plan to me. :)
