I'd think there'd be a way you could do this programatically with a filter. 
Though you'd need some way to notify your firewall to block the offending IP, 
and perhaps you don't have an actual firewall running.

Then again, you could have another filter that rejects requests from listed IPs 
that your first filter writes to. :)  I know, it's not an automatic feature; 
I'm just thinking out loud that it probably wouldn't be very hard to implement 
something that would do the job.
