Sounds like a great idea for a firewall plugin.   Doesn't the adaptive ban
firewall run a script that wakes up every 90 seconds or so and check for
bad things?  You could create a plugin script like that wakes up every 5
minutes say, checks for rules to add or remove, does it thing and goes back
to sleep.   GUI interface could be limited to editing a firewall plugin
conf file.  Hardest part is probably designing a syntax for the conf file.

Got visibility?
Most devs has no idea what their production app looks like.
Find out how fast your code is with AppDynamics Lite.
