3) I think you've just suggested giving a webpage (one which may be
hostile towards your goals) control over who can and cannot access your
web server.  What happens if one day that CGI hands you a list containing
every IP in your /24?  I know that, if I ran said webpage, I would be
tempted to do so every once in a while.

3b) A more crafty (less hostile) person at that webpage could just give
you a huge list.  strcmp() over 1m list items on every webpage hit?
Sounds like fun!
