Well you should always validate whatever you get from the users. In that 
validation step you can do that.

A possible way to validate it would be to do something like:

ids, error = IS_LIST_OF(IS_INT_IN_RANGE(minimum=1), 
maximum=YOUR_MAX_NUMBER_OF_IDS)(request.vars.ids.split(','))

if error:
    # we didn't validate for some reason
    response.flash = error
else:
    people = db(db.auth_user.id.belongs(ids))...


Instead of using IS_INT_IN_RANGE you can even go a step further and use 
IS_IN_DB, but that would be much more heavy as it would hit the database 
and I don't think it's needed here due to the next step.
