If you are running under a Linux environment using ZeroMQ, there is no 
excuse for you not to send a message to a worker to create an ipchains 
or ipfw rule to block that address :) Of course, in doing so, you may 
wipe out an entire ISP that uses a NAT, but still.

And if you are running under Windows Server, they provide a quite 
sufficient API for firewalling.

A 2010-app(*) still needs to be security conscious, but it should not be 
re-implementing the firewall it lives behind :)
