While someone may decide to do this the more likely scenario is that ISPs
will start black holing infected IP addresses the same way they do with
SPAM.

    Yep.  We got one on a DHCP'd IP, they would have to block the
whole Class C to get rid of him.

    How does one easily track down a mac address through a maze
of Cisco 1900 switches to find the port number that has the machine
on it, if you know the mac address?

    Doing it by hand is painful.

    Thanks  Homer
