Possibly, but there are only 8 hosts up in the remaining range, and most of
them seem to be webcrawlers...

The /25 essentially means "1 to 127", so it also works, but yeah, you will
cut a few extra hosts.

That was going to be my last resort, but it seemed a bit heavy-handed  
as it would presumably mean anyone else on 82.99.30 but outside the 2  
- 73 range would also be blocked... ;-)
