Hi, im working on a blacklist and i was wondering if can make web2py to 
fail silently on an early stage if the client is blacklisted.

I have something like this in my models.

#blacklist an ip
def blacklist(ip):
    if ip:
        db.blacklist.insert(ip=ip)

#hidden ips are considered black
def isblack(ip):
    if ip:
        if not db(db.blacklist.ip==ip).select().first():
            return False
    return True

if isblack(request.client):
    raise 
 


Ive tested this on localhost and i get a ticket with a socket error, which 
is ok, but will i get a ticket if i deploy the app?.

I know could use "raise HTTP(404)" but i dont want the server to go any 
further than that, waste any resource or even throw a ticket. Is it any 
way? 

Thanks.
