    It appears this plugin does not support blocking forwarded IP addresses. This means that sites that reside on machines behind load balancers (like some of ours) will only block the IP address of the load balancer, not the originating IP address. This can be cured by looking for the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR server variable and including that in the list of ips to test for a banning match.
