[TriLUG] denying login attempts to a vsftp server

[Blackburn, Marvin]

I have a vsftp server running on rhel 4.  On occasion, I get "swamped" with
connection attempts -- sometimes over 40,000.  Usually the culprits have one
or two ip addresses. 
I had seen on either this list or the redhat lists, a discussion of a
package that would automatically bounce requests from a specific ip after
"x" number of failures.  I cant seem to find the 
references.  
 
I really can use wrappers effectively as the culprit's ip addresses change a
lot.  Any help would be appreciated.
