Odd nobody else mentioned it yet, so I'll do it...

Check out fail2ban. If you have peers or systems that you cannot restrict by IP and must leave relatively 'open', fail2ban will see the failed attempts, and after a configurable number of failures, will automatically add the offending IP to IPtables.

See here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Fail2Ban+(with+iptables)+And+Asterisk
