How are you getting these portscan alerts? via spp_portscan/2 or via rules? You would have to configure ignorehosts so you wouldn't be reseting valid connections. Though inadvertently you might reset valid web traffic.

Recommendations:
1. Either use SnortSam, Hogwash, or Snort-inline. 2. Play with spp_portscan threshold, ignorehosts before putting into

   production.

Maybe the rest of the gang can recommend something else.

Cheers!
