Blocking attacking IP address for some time using Snort and PIX

[kanwal jeet <jeet_kanwal () yahoo com>]

Hi Everybody,
 
I have implemented snort and it is working fine. The problem i have is that it is not able to block the attacking IP 
address. It would just log it in mysql.
 
I have Pix firewall and i want IDS to instruct the PIX firewall to drop all traffic coming from the source IP of the 
attacker and then remove the ban after a period of time has expired.
 
Is it possible with snort ?  i know it is possible with Cisco IDS.
Can i accomplish the same with Snort ?
 
Thanks in advance.
