I feel this is better accomplished with bots local to the servers.  That way
the connections will come from the same host as the user's are opening an
IRC connection to (= a lot less abuse reports regarding your scanner, which
piss your ISP off).  Also then the burden falls on a bot and not an ircd or
services.

One problem with this approach is that should some of your admins refuse to
run a bot, or not be able to, then abusers will get onto your net through
their ircd.
