Danger Strings Blocking

We use an extension that redirects attempts to access danger strings to our 403 page, for example:
/administrator
/wplogin
/myphpadmin
We end up blocking 99% of the IP's that hit these danger strings as they are up to no good and is a good early warning/prevention for us to block these abusive IP's. However, it is a very manual process to check the IP's and then block them.
It would be great for RSFirewall to allow a custom list of danger strings to be added and for it to automatically add the IP's to the blocklist based on a number of attempts setting (separate from the Automatic Blacklisting value for fine-tuning). Also for it to redirect to custom 403 page (URL or menu item).
Thank you for your consideration
