IDS: Newbie question: autoblocking with IDS/IPS

[Daniel <somebody1 () gmx net>]

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying one of that new CISCO IDS boxes which can be placed inline in the future.

Is anybody of you using the automatic shunning (I guess it's called so) feature of the CISCO IDS? 
Does this make sense? (Which signatures should be autoblocked?)

Or are you just monitoring and then blocking manually?

Any hint would be greatly appreciated!
