Coventry?

And as I mentioned, I'm willing to remove the chunk that would be common.

host*******.xyz.domain.com

So basically as the filters for ip bans operate with #.# or #.#* banning anything matching the first 2 octets but in this case *.xyz.domain.com resulting in all hosts for that section removed / placed in a user group bin of choice.

This doesn't have to be a ban process, but if I could just do a reverse checkup of *.xyz.domain.com to see what users are using it, then that could be useful too. Basically the idea in question is having the same capacity as is possible with IP addresses, rather with hostnames in some reasonable way that every other good page impression isn't delayed because of reverse lookups.
