Is possible to use RBL's to protect Apache from compromised and infected systems?

In recent years the Realtime Blackhole Lists have expanded to include not just open relays and know sources of spam, but also lists of systems that have been broken into, are infected with viruses, worms and are running open proxies.

My system recieve every day attack from wherever, so, would be possible build a feature to use RBL's to protect Apache, by Plesk Panel, from compromised and infected systems (exactly like against the spam in mailserver)?

Regards.

Yep, you mod_security has supported RBL's since version 1.9. We use them in ASL now

Thank you for answer Atomicturtle.
Then, is possible (and how to) include this firewall in Plesk 8.1?

Including this firewall may be problems during the next Plesk upgrade?

It doesnt tie into Plesk in any way, its just an apache module.
