It's not as easy as as limiting 1 ip per client - what if there where two people legit playing from a Lan? I know many people that play like that (Example:mother&son, brothers, my daughter and I).
I have also two boxed, and played with a hack called "Xylobot" (ceased working with later patches of EQ). I did this on SOE EQ. I can tell you anyone who 2-3 boxes off a few PC's (or windowed) with NO MQ2 or whatever help, is under great stress! it really doesn't change the game much, and if they want to do that, so be it. What you really need to worry about (and so does anyone else that wants to make some sort of game out of this), is the MQ users and other hacks - anyone who uses this on your server has access to a lot of things they aren't supposed to. If you research some on these forums, you might find some possible solutions.
I think I would run my server from behind a firewall, so I could IP ban anyone I caught cheating. You can do this with Linux, not sure about Windows. How would you catch them? I guess by watching them and luring them into preset traps on your server (do research).
EDIT:
The best you can do with good results (without any hacks such as MQ2) is two box, so you would not have much control guild-wise.
