What total bozo blocks single IP addresses anyhow? The chances it's a snowshoe spammer are high enough that if you're going to go that route, you just block the whole /24 (or more). And if you can figure out how to block an IPv4 /24, the additional clue to figure out how to block an IPv6 /56 or /48 isn't much. And if you can't figure out how to block a /24, the secret is to keep banging the rocks together...
