Thanks Ant.

We have post the same message to wikitech-l (
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2006-March/034563.html
), and get feedback there that XFF project (
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/XFF_project ) could be a solution for
our problems.

With help from Tim Starling, Wikimedia had already added CNBlog.org to
the trusted XFF list. Now any vandalism from CNBlog.org can be blocked
without interrupting normal contributions. Also the real IP will be
revealed for any edit from CNBlog.org.

The XFF really works, thanks for our developers.
