If you're providing a service for all Bluewin customers, I assume that the project partner is Swisscom. So I'm your project partner within Swisscom can give you the desired IP range information.
You might be shocked to hear that it's possible that an ISP wants to whitelist all Bluewin-Ranges *despite* having nothing to do with Swisscom or Bluewin itself.
In fact, we also have the same issue; we need to firewall something, but our customer, which happens to use a dynamic IP in the Swisscom/Bluewin range, needs to have access. And its far better to allow all your dynamic IP-ranges than to allow the rest of the world as well.
