Is that the best method for combating DoS and botnets though? Creating
a DB of hosts and logging their patterns of activity?

Is their an algorithm of "normal" net activity you can apply to
different IP blocks based on who resells them? Do consumer blocks act
with a general measure of a certain type of activity?

It seems like a promising method IMO
