Cool, but...

I've looked at fail2ban a couple of times.

The one problem I can possibly see is if someone spoofed the address of a computer that you usually use to access the server.

Is it theoretically possible to create a DoS situation then? If not, let me know.

Say they keep failing using your address. Are they not effectively banning you from accessing your server.

Maybe not, just trying to verify one way or the other.
