Taking a stab at you meaning "block all IPs that reverse resolve to a name
managed by secureserver.net" because their servers keep scanning you.

You could craft a fail2ban recipe to reverse resolve the IP address (after
a some threshold of rejected packets) then block that IP if it '
secureserver.net' is the authority for the PTR record.
