I don't think it's a very wise idea to do this.
First think of al the dynamic ip's there are with ISP'S. Blocking them
will hurt "good" users also. And also how do you classify a bad host ?
A host that is just performing a port scan, DoSsing the server, .... ?

I have the same feeling against this as i have against the DUL-list
(http://maps.vix.com/dul/). It is gonna hurt users who are just
normally using the internet and not doing anything bad.
