Any reasonable IDS will block these sorts of attacks.

http://www.zonelabs.com - Zone Alarm (free for private use)
http://www.networkice.com - BlackICE
... and plenty more.

The big problem here though is that a machine will attempt your IP's
once before moving on elsewhere, so by the time you've blocked them
they've gone anyhow.

CodeRed v1 had a fairly simple 'random' seed which meant each
infected server would attack the same IP's in the same order, whereas
CodeRed v2, CodeBlue and Nimda are considerably smarter (they start
by attacking machines in the same subnet and work their way out).

Short of blocking the attacks at the router level (which can cause a
whole bunch of problems of its own), or changing the port web
messaging runs on, there ain't much more you can do.

Cheers,
Nick
