This is a very, very dangerous road to go down. You would see a lot of collateral damage by doing a URIBL by IP. A lot of domain hosts these days use shared IPs. I could host any number of legit websites on one virtual IP…and I do. I share IPs with any number of other websites at the web hosting companies where I have websites. There is nothing wrong with this practice. It is common place on the Internet and is very cost efective. I don’t want other people's spam baggage thank you. It would be much better to stick with URIBLs by name and let RBLs do the IP lookups like we already do.
OTOH: How often would you send an URI with the IP address of a multi-domain-serving webserver in a legit mail? You'd have to use a domain name to get to the right website. So, looking up IP addresses in URIs, which I think is what Chris meant, shouldn't be too dangerous. Looking up the address of each domain found and filter on it would be bad, however.
