Stopping portscanning

Hi:

I am using Snort to detect Kazaa and Gnutella trafic, and to send a TCP Reset 
to both IPs when the Snort detects the traffic, we have been able to lower 
the traffic in our "Internet 2" serial (E3-34mbps) from 10-12mbps to 1-2 
mbps.

Now I am seeing a lot of portscans, so I am looking for some way to stop that 
portscanning, I am not sure if there is some way to send TCP_RESETs or 
HOST_UNREACHABLE icmp's.. do you have any way of stopping those scans??

Thanks a lot.
