You can open a unix shell session and type "nslookup <ip>".

Don't use *.
It'll automatically match against whatever you could type in.
So if you typed:
ban all aol
It'd ban all users from 98asfdb.aol.com, and all other aol addresses.
Have to be a bit careful not to have it match against other domains or
numbers though.
