It is probably worth doing, because it isn't a terribly large amount of 
effort, but I wouldn't rely on it.  Most people can figure out that they need 
to use the IP instead of the domain name.  But hey, if it discourages one or 
two users, it's worth the time.  Plus these are the most dangerous users, the 
ones that know just enough to use a service like goto, but not enough to get 
around you blocking their efforts to connect by a domain name.
