    Looks like that IP address is a proxy server.

    You can scan comments for URLs and not allow those that have any (e.g. search for http://). Of course, it can also be something like http://, which would be a bit more tricky to decipher, but you would be able to fend off at least some of them.

    I actually get alerted to this stuff, but it's still a pain to deal with. I thought there was a chance that the spammer may have come from here since my blog is listed on my posts and I don't promote it a lot elsewhere. I figured if I posted the sites and the IP someone might recognize it and maybe just maybe somebody would know that person and punch him for me.

    A good intention for sure, but I don't think anyone who spams blogs is going to publicly state it... (Well, I know of a few guys that would, but they're just cocky) ;)

    Nice looking blog, very eye pleasing to read and such. I didn't know it until the other day, but WP has it, apparently turned on by default, does your blogging software have the ability to stop comments from actually being posted to the blog without approval?

    yes, it does have the ability to block comments until they get approved. It's just a preference setting. You can also set it so that only comments with URLs have to get approved, and also so that only comments with at least x number of URLs have to get approved. It's very handy.
