Is there a way to share blocked open proxy infomation over projects

'''Support'''. :) This would be a very useful feature. We have a
lot
of good solutions for detecting and blocking open proxies, but they all
suffer from having to duplicate each others' efforts.
The only question is how to implement it. Perhaps we could make it so
that any IPs blocked on Meta are blocked on all the Wikimedia wikis as
well. That'd be a SMOP, and would avoid the need for a new blocking
interface with its associated access control issues.
Alternatively, shifting the effort to the front end, we could set up our
_own_ DNSBL and create some kind of an admin interface to it. Then we
could use the existing "SORBS" code (which really ought to be renamed)
to do the back end work.
I suppose an implementation similar to the current spam blacklist could
also work, and would be really simple to set up. I doubt it'd scale as
well, though.
