Ban certain IP ranges from registration

Would it be difficult to filter some IP ranges (typically known proxies) and not allow users from those ips to register or/and post? Well lets start with "to register" ...

Say, I know that some troublemakers are trying to register from proxy that belongs to range 67.159.0.0 to 67.159.127.255 and I do not want them to register at all.

Would it be complicated task?

This would be a very easy code for bb_plugins.php (preferably paste it before Captcha code):

/* Prevent certain IP range from registration */

if(($action=='registernew' or $action=='register') and "{$cen[0]}.{$cen[1]}"=='67.159' and $cen[2]>=0 and $cen[2]<=128) die('Your IP address is banned for registration');

/* --Prevent certain IP range from registration */
Here, $cen variable is generated in index.php each time when forum action executes, so we could merely use it in the above code or similar process. Look up for /* Banned IPs/IDs stuff */
