Just like in fail2ban you can choose to whitelist IP's or networks.

Almost all the web only services send a link to your email when you 
account is locked any you try to log in.  With the link you can reset 
your password.  We have to think about the 2 kinds of access devices an 
maybe have different locks accordingly:
phone
web browser

If you wanted to get totally automated, then the system could ask if the 
user wants a password reset link sent to their email.

I still think we can do all this with more efficient logging to 
something like sipxauth.log and use fail2ban to setup all the rules.  
The phone service can be treated just like any other public web service.
