Banning Ip's

I know others have had this problem with the chinese posts in their forums . I delete and ban them as soon as i find a post ( they post every other day ) and my ip ban list is growing quite long as they appear to have a static ip . can i do a ban of the first 6 digits and have that form of ban stop all posts with that ip class ? I cannot close my boards to guests because its a medical info help forum and to do that would defeat its purpose

not that i am aware of. because if you did somthing liek *.202.160.32 it woudl ban absolutley everyone. Prehaps (not sure if it can be done) someone could create a code that could ban a range say from 66.0.0.0 to 77.0.0.0 or somthing
