Ok, here goes:

netstat -an | grep ^tcp | grep -v LISTEN | awk '{ print $5 }' | egrep -v
'^(172\.16|192\.168|127\.0)' | cut -f1-4 -d\. | awk '{ a[$1]++ } END {
for (i in a) { if (a[i] > 10) { print i; } } }' | xargs -n1 -I % sh -c
'sockstat -c | grep %' | awk '{ print $6 " " $7 }' | sed -e 's/:/ /g' -e
's/^/tcpdrop /'

Paste that all on one line, and it should print (but not execute!)
tcpdrop commands for IPs that have more than 10 connections to your
server.  The commands will work on 6.x and later versions of the OS,
since it doesn't use "tcpdrop -l -a".

If you like the output and want to actually run the tcpdrop commands,
add "| sh" to the end of the pipeline.

YMMV, because I didn't actually execute the commands. I just printed the
tcpdrop commands, and they looked good.

Good luck,
Greg
