Amelinda, is this something that could be crowd-sourced, or are the security implications too great?
I posted this earlier, but I do feel that the IPExemption system is too slow given that it is often the "first contact" players have with the games. My opinion is that "fast enough" is totally unreasonable to expect from you, Amelinda, without software assisting you in your unsung efforts.
I'd like to see an audit based system which grants IPexemptions temporarily, immediately to characters in good standing (i.e. have not already been caught botting), and then have you come along and check all petitions after the fact. Maybe set criteria to minimize the risk of botting. While I care for those who are already a high level and want to run a LAN party, my big concern is the new player. Maybe only offer automated temporary IP exemptions when both accounts have no character above level 10. That would target the "first contact" users, while preserving your ability to handle higher-level characters on a case by case basis... as they can damage the economy more.
