whoa...one ste to far there...knowing its a *.dip.t-dialin.net needs a
dns-lookup! (which has to be done for all sources!)

If you look at your stats you see 3k+ sources in less that 2 hours!
this is a real bandwidth-killer!

You would spend the bandwidth you saved with that on dns...
So i guess ip-ranges should be the better way...its not that difficult
to find the ip-ranges for most dialup-isps...

Guess you didnt know that but most of the donkey clients run on
dynamic ips....static ips are the minority...

Thats for sure...if hes offline the changes that he gets a new ip are
very high!

Ok. but 24 hours is not the standart worldwide....some countries
disconnect after 12 hours....

- If a client asks for a file more often than 590 seconds, ie 10

- If a client has 2 BAD REQUESTS, it get banned !

It does in current cvs - cant tell about the pango patches...

No. You mldonkey did ban them ;)
Those emules were probably patched or misconfigured and had to be banned!
