Using nginx sub_filter on IP ranges

While scrolling through the visitor's report of my blog, I noticed visitors from a "strange" ISP: "Magistrat der Stadt Wien, Magistratsabteilung 01", which is the IT department of the magistrate of the City of Vienna.

So I've decided to give them a special greeting when visiting. I wanted it to look like this:
