[Icecast] Blocking IP addresses on a per mountpoint level

Thanks.

Indeed - but is it it possible to block IP addresses on a per mountpoint
level? For example, my user with /mountpointA.ogg does not mind being
hammered by connections from 93.184.216.34 [example.com] but my user with
/mountpointB.ogg wants to block that IP address.

Using iptables I've blocked connections, at a server level, from example.com
for my User B but my User A doesn't mind their connection being probed once
per minute 24/7/365 by a badly-configured player from that IP address.

Thank you
