fail2ban would be a good solution for you, as it is easily configurable -- but as you say, if you can do something similar with your own scripts, no issue.<div>fail2ban is setup on the login/asterisk/apache side of things for me -- robert set it up for me :-)</div>

something up using fail2ban to do this, but as I've never installed and<br>
configured that either, I don't know if this would be any easier than<br>
any of the add-on modules for Apache. For now, the quick addition to my<br>
CGI wrapper script will probably do the trick.<br>
