	Yes, that's generally true.  In practice, domains often have IP
blocks assigned to them.  In fact, the names in the domain that don't
map to an IP in the main block are probably computers that are offsite
anyway, and not likely to be used by the same cracker.

	So, while you are ostensibly correct, in practice you can often
come up with blockable ranges of IPs that a domain uses.

Have fun (if at all possible),
