There is no direct way to do that with Icecast. Icecast just can not
tell "good" from "bad" sources apart but for block lists and
credentials.

Ideally each DJ has his own credentials, so you can control access by
that. This way Icecast knows which of your DJs this specific source is
and can therefore accept, or reject the request.

If that is not possible you can block by IP. Icecast supports blocking,
however your standard firewall might be the more flexible solution
here. That depends a bit on what your setup looks like.

Hopefully that helps you a bit.

With best regards,
