I ran in to this issue also.  Never found a scaleable/supportable solution, so 
switched to DenyHosts instead just to get the deployment going.   I used the 
puppetlabs-denyhosts module.    Depending on your application an app-level 
filter vs a firewall-level filter may be adequate.  The latter is possibly more 
scalable if you are getting massive attacks on your SSH port for example.   But 
if they get so massive that DenyHosts is a significant resource drain you may 
need to switch to an upstream DDoS-blocking solution anyway, so I decided the 
app-level filter was sufficient.
