You can find a couple of scripts at
http://screaming-penguin.com/info/codeRedKiller.html designed to stop code
red by adding discovered infected hosts to ipchains.  It uses PHP for the
(insecure) apache monitoring side, and a bash script (run as root) to
update ipchains.

Basically a specific implementation of the general idea proposed by David
Kramer.

Don't know if this helps, but FWIW...
