I've been asked to add a lock out "feature" to our website. Basically after
x failed attempts in y amount of time the server will refuse all login
attempts for z amount of time.

I'd like to block both accounts (correct account name but incorrect
passwords), and IP's regardless of what account they try to access.

I figure I'll have to use some globals, but I'm just trying to figure out the best way to tackle the problem. I'm hoping someone else has already
done this and can offer some suggestions.

Just to be safe I would store lockouts in the database in case the server has to be restarted for some reason.

Regards,
