code red attacks and real-time blackhole'ng

Hi,

some time ago I asked if somebody had any idea how to real-time blackhole
ip-adresses to port 80 with ipchains who try to set off the code red virus
variants.

my idea was as follows:

#!/bin/bash
tail -f /var/log/messages | grep -i "codered" | grep -iv proxy | awk '{print $11}' | awk -F : '{print $1}'| 
ipchains -A input -s i `awk '{print $1}'`/255.255.255.255 -d 0/0 80 -i eth1 -j DENY --protocol tcp

Several problems now occur (for some of you probably trivialities):

1) the above port 80 blocking makes sense if tcp and udp are blocked or is tcp sufficient?

2) when I do a tail -n 1000 instead of the tail -f it ipchains bitches because he gets 1000 (not that many 
ofcourse) ip adresses at once but only wants _1_ argument, not a list.

3) when I do a tail -f nothing happens at all, without the ipchains command no output is generated at all 
even if new entries in /var/log/messages appear, but if I tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages and use the above 
pipes, I get a neat list of IP addresses...

My questions: how can I get 2) to work? and then, how 3)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
