If I'm reading the mod_evasive documentation correctly, all it (or something similar) does is stops serving content and returns 403s. If your content is resource expensive to deliver that will help some, but you're still going to get all the requests hitting the web server and you're still going to be responding to them. The better place to address this is at your system's firewall. Depending on your system, you likely have firewall tools that can provide a more robust solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
