Issue Summary
Banning users via IP at admin/config/people/ip-blocking only prevents said ip from accessing the site but it would be ideal if there was an optional way to specify a custom command i.e iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP in linux to reject it from access any sites on the server.

IP-based blocking has to be executed very carefully — you definitely do not want to block a spammer's IP permanently, because in the vast majority of cases the originating IP is temporarily abused only.
Mollom takes care of properly dealing with IP addresses already.
