Not unless you write it. It would generally be a poor solution for public sites as many IP addresses are shared, and this will prevent people accidentally co-blocked from even reading your site. If you're trying to block abusive spiders and robots (that don't obey robots.txt), use the web server's configuration options for this. (Apache's 'Deny from' etc.) There is no 1.5beta yes; I hope you're not using 1.5prealpha on a public site. - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
