Reputation based on src_addr is /so/ 2005.  ASN has a few more legs 
perhaps... but...

All the growth in Internet-connected compute clouds (EC2, AppNexus, 
GoGrid, etc.) makes any system based around IP reputation decidedly less 
useful.

At the end of the day, nobody is going to drop packets for amazon's IP 
space.
