I'm thinking I may have to do the same. I'm currently in "open to the whole world and block the miscreants" mode, but now I'm thinking I may switch to your model.

fail2ban seems to do a good job shutting down those that hammer away, though there was a bunch of attempts from Morocco where after x number of tries (or
