hire one.  your needs and requirements are vague and unique, no off the 
shelf solution will do exactly what it is you want.  you also need to 
start thinking of your requirements in more precise terms, what the 
thresholds of traffic that will trigger and reset these blocks or 
throttles.   you probably want to tie this into QoS so that when your 
algorithm determines that a specific host is over its threshold, you 
throttle it rather than block it entirely.   messy messy messy.
