I like the idea of firewalling ip ranges, or hostnames, and as a matter of fact my shard can do this already. In addition, so that you do not ban a whole country/city/etc... an exception list would be good, in order to allow people to get on through the firewalling.
This would not work for people who have proxies, play through a cyber cafe, or other such 'public' areas. Unfortunately, there is collateral damage when you ban via hostname/ip range. It is inevitable.
