Susefirewall limit connections

Hi ListMates,

I have a large number of attacks on my customer's ports (10022, 5901, 
5904) running OpenSuse 13.1 x64.

Basically I would like the firewall to allow no more than 5 attempts per 
60 second period (or 1 attempt per 12 seconds), after which I would like 
the firewall to PERMENANTLY LOCK out the attempting IP. I'm not sure 
whether this can be done via the SuseFirewall or whether I need to write 
a script to do it.

I have tried a couple methods with the following script BUT I still get 
several (thousands) attempts in my firewall logs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks and best regards. Otto.
