table <attackers> file
pass in quick on $wan_if from <attackers> to $web_server port { 80
8080 } queue attacks

Then write a small script to add them to the attackers table.

pass in quick on $wan_if from any to $web_server port { 80 8080 } queue normal

altq on $wan_if priq bandwidth $upstream_bw queue { attacker, normal }
queue attacker priority 0 priq(red)
queue normal priority 7 priq(default)

Note that you can only queue on outbound connections.
Well, you can assign queues on inbound packets, but it only
matters when they're queued up to go out (inbound packets
get processed almost immediately if the CPU is fast enough).

I charge reasonable rates, but bear in mind that firewall rules can
take a long time to debug and tweak and tune, and I charge by the
hour.
