There is no need to get difficult with all that, the way it works is very sufficient and simple.

On disconnect, their ip is added to a table, a 5 second timer is then set to remove it.
If the player rejoins before its removed (rejoins within 5 seconds) the ip s banned. There is no way to load back in that fast.
It also takes into consideration of reason on disconnect, if its a timeout, it wont add the ip because their is a delay from actual timeout and the server noticing.
