Thanks! - that is crazy - it may take them a while to figure it out.. Great solution - although seems really a severe privacy policy issue thanks again - jay miller Justin Scott wrote: And this works great.

Coldfusion IP Host Banning - Need something stronger
Hello all. I posted this 3 days ago - but never came through. Apologize if a duplicate. Hopefully this is not too off topic - I am currently using coldfusion to check IP and refer host for example - cfloop index=IPnum list=#attributes.IPs# delimiters=, cfif #remote_addr# is #IPnum# cfif #attributes.method# is redirect cflocation url=#attributes.redirect# And this works great. But I have some persistent users that I banned about 15 IP's for 1 person, banned any referrers from their host - and now he is signing on from AOL. I am sure some of you Cold Fusion pro's have had to come up with something with a little more strength. Is this possible? Can I read a particular setting from his machine and ban that? I need to ban this certain group of people. They also seem to be unnecessarily bulk signing up users through my forms and make a small dent in the bandwith. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated! Thanks, jay miller __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com. The place for dependable ColdFusion Hosting.
