Actually, Battle.net does (ie ALWAYS) filters the IP after a single CD-Key
check failure for several hours. Assuming that a bnetd-like program can
proxy the CDkey requests it will never work in practice (it's enough to
have a single client that is rejected and then all your server's proxied
requests will be filtered for a couple of hours).
