Automatic IP ban for login "hammering"

[Wilis]

Our OX server gets thosands of unsuccessful login attempts from different ip:s and username/password combinations every day. IMHO OX could ban these IP:s for example after five unsuccessful login attempts for 30 minutes or so. Could this kind of banning system be integrated in Open Xchange login? It's quite fustrating to ban these ip:s thru htaccess etc.
