Thanks. I will definitely explore these in production.

You're welcome.

Before pushing such things to production consider first testing in dev/qa then staging or some canary environment. I use those IP's to determine who gets into a moderator review queue so worst case it just makes more work for me. Consider using those in conjunction with whatever rate limiting capabilities your web server provides first so it is not a hard block in the unlikely event a real customer shows up on one of them.
