Popular applications like wiki and drupal provider a feature to ban
the user from accessing the website isnt it ?
A user if not logged in, and edits, then his ip address is recorded in a
wiki.
Ok, the IP address of the user 'A' who did nasty things has been recorded is
black list of wiki. If A is using dynamic IP address means he will be given
different IP address whenever he restarts his mechine isn't it ?
So How you can ban this guy from accessing wiki ? becaues when he comes for
second time he may be having different IP address isnt it ?
On the other side the IP address recored by wiki may be given to some other
legimate users by DHCP server, now he may not access the wiki isn't it ?.
so i could understand that a person with dynamic IP cant be blocked by wiki
or drupal is it ?

Thanks a lot
