Right, hence the 'potential project'...

Actually, all the NSCP stuff is in one subnet, right? Can't you manually
hack the mod_throttle source for your specific needs?

/me grabs source code:

in mod_throttle's access_handler, just before grabbing the critical
section, if r->connection->remote_addr.sin_addr is in an NSCP/AOL subnet,
then return DECLINED.

Totally and utterly untested, mind you - if it breaks you get to keep the 
pieces :)
