Sweet, actually this looks more like what I wanted, but rackspace said wasn't available. This bans the ips if there are a lot of password failures.
There is also another tool which bans ips for port scans. I think it's been discontinued, but perhaps there is another one out there?

I think that was portsentry. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sentrytools/
Yep, that's it. The keyword being was. I believe I tried installing it in the past with no success. Is there another project that took over, or is there a way to install this still?
