Quoting from my email, here's the para below the one you've quoted

QUOTE

This will block the mac address so that even if they try another IP, it
wont work. They'll have to change their physical NIC (or if they are
savvy, their might change their mac address temporarily
http://www.alobbs.com/macchanger - BEWARE: "macchanger eth0" will
increment eth0 mac address). But you are assured that they have to do
atleast as much work as you have to - and this should make them go away.
