I believe you can do that with iptables, using the ipt_recent module.
I did not test it or did it before, but looking at the man page it
looks like a tool that could be used to implement just that.
See "man iptables" and look for "recent". The examples usually do the
opposite (block someone for a certain amount of time), but you should
be able to come up with the rules to do what you want on your own.
