I guess I'm more curious about how to validate the database of source  
IP addresses in the face of tunneling.  The Nanog crowd simply foams  
at the mouth when this subject comes up.

Has someone come up with a way to characterize packet flows through  
tunnels in a way that makes it possible to fingerprint the origin?   
That can fingerprint the client on the far end of Tor a pipe?
