PAM for blocking multiple login attempts

Last I heard, someone was working on a module that would deal with
multiple login attempts for a single ip.  The module wouldn't block the
account from logging in, but that ip.  On my campus, we see attacks
where a robot will try multiple usernames and passwords and I want to be
able to block that ip automagically when this happens.
