Limiting password attempts in lighttpd [SOLVED]

I recently began playing with lighttpd and am using password protection for the server.

Goal: limit the number of failed attempts to 3 natively (ie within lighttpd).
Question: Is this possible or do I need a 3rd party util iike fail2ban?

According what the folks at the lighttpd board have told you, fail2ban should work. How did that work out for you?
