Thanks guys,
Thats a good suggestion Eduardo but unfortunately the addresses are 
not allocated by DHCP but by the users choice of filtering options 
(eg they may want to block users in their office from accessing the net 
without a proxy). When they change their options their IP changes, and 
they can change these options at any time.

Thanks
Jon
