Not to get too off-topic, but where are the requests coming from, and why?

Has anyone figured out a way to block iPhones?  Not that I think that is
a good idea but I seem to get this request more and more frequently and
I cant seem to find anything unique.

Some ideas I have thought about:

Blocking mDNS  (probably a good idea anyway)
Blocking bonjour

Blocking OUIs

APPLE's OUI's

00:50:E4:xx:xx:xx
00:A0:40:xx:xx:xx
08:00:07:xx:xx:xx

None of these will work well because they can cause other problems for
other users when blocked.  MACs and PCs can use bonjour, I don't think
the iphone uses a specific range of OUIs, etc.

I haven't sniffed the iphone DHCP request but I was hoping maybe they
use option 43 or something to uniquely identify themselves which can get
a blocked ip address or something.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Emerson
