Normally they will be pretty friendly if you call them and just tell them your 
concerns.  Ask them for a name and you see if the name they are looking for is 
on your list.  
And it depends on who issued the subpoena too.  Sometimes for telcos it is a 
domestic dispute and one person is trying to prove the other person called the 
boyfriend/girlfriend etc.  I just talk to the lawyer and try to be helpful.

If it is the FBI very well could be exploited children type of thing.  I have 
gotten  up in the middle of the night to help them trace a guy that thought he 
was chatting with a 13 year old.  

I used to have a statement that was published and given to all new customers 
that I “fully cooperate with all law enforcement activities”.

Oh and I agree with chuck's statement too.  In the end you're likely going to 
end up giving them the list.  You don't want to be a big pain in the rear and 
become a target for their retaliation.  My main concern is that whoever 
actually approved the warrant approved what you can give them (customer 
identity vs identities)

  I'd be concerned about privacy violations.  

  My response would be a call to my attorney, with the intent being to push 
back just enough to make sure the judge understands the response is going to 
violate the privacy of hundreds of innocent john does.  I can think of several 
strategies but I'm not a lawyer so many of them probably aren't worth a hill of 
beans.

    What would you guy do if you got a search warrant containing a shared, NAT 
IP serving hundreds of customers?

    We responded that the IP was shared and could not be used to pinpoint a 
specific customer.

    They responded that they want a list of all customers that it could be, no 
matter how many.  This is the first time getting that kind of response.  
Normally, they just say okay and go away.

    Is the request too broad?

    Do I just comply and give them a list of all those customers?
