Nice idea but there is a flaw.

Alot of the Code Red I have been seeing, and other people, (The Article on Code Red Earlier in Linux Today) has been from home users who installed thing like Frontpage, which comes with a chopped down IIS server. Thus those people might latter on want to view your webpage, and now cannot. Also there is a firewall potential here too. If the offending machine was a windows "firewall" or Internet Sharing system, all behind the "firewall" are now blocked. Just a few things to remember.
