Virus alert message

Is it possible with Perl (or is something else better) to create a
script that would alert the administrator of a code red type worm
that his machine was infected. I know os x can not get infected by
this but my 4 webservers are getting hammered by it and my
bandwidth is dwindling. I know one webserver that has a great way
of handling this. It's:
<http://CodeRed.mdg.com>
It just sends an email to the admin of that server telling them
they are infected. Most people don't know they are infected and it
might be the only alert they receive.
It seems a script could listen on the http port for file requests
that match certain patterns and then it could log the total hits
from each machine and once a day or once a week send a message to
the admin telling them they are hitting your server x amount of
times a day for x amount of days for a total number of hits. The
message could be sent once a day or week as long as the activity
continues.
Does anyone know if this can be done or better yet if a script
already exists for it.
Thanks,
Steve
