user-agent is also an idea but requires deep-packet inspection which is "computationally expensive" (or running a transparent web proxy between customers and internet but thats not foolproof either).
All this even though the user agent is considered a user settable header and thus not fully reliable for such purposes.

True, most then again, most people don't even know what a user agent is let alone that they exist.
