IP Address and Bad Web Robots

We have some real problems with bad robots ignoring our robots.txt files 
and bogging Panorama down on our servers. Unfortunately, it is anything 
but easy task (could rant big time on that) to block IP addresses on 
Apache compared to other servers especially when you have many web 
sites. Besides, we may want to allow the bots to explore all the static 
pages.

If we could block the IP addresses via Panorama, we could just do one 
configuration for the whole server and get what we want.

So, is there a way for Panorama Server to pick up the IP address of each 
hit? Please say yes.
