Intrusion Prevention Firewall

Hi,

I'm looking for a cross between an NIDS and a
firewall.

Are there network "IDS" products out there that take action 
to prevent an attack from succeeding other than to:

1) Notify someone to manually deal with it
2) Do a TCP RST on the session
3) Put a router filter in to block the offending IP

I'm looking for something like an application level firewall
controlled by a NIDS engine that would drop offending
traffic at the ingress point. Something like Hogwash but
in a mainstream product capable of being put on a high-speed
production Internet feed.

( http://hogwash.sourceforge.net/ )

Does such a thing exist?

thanks,
