I don't think this is possible with stock Apache 2 (and it probably is the wrong place for such restrictions) but if you're using Linux 2.6 look at iptables's hashlimit module. Example: $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -d IP --dport 80 -j HASHLIMIT $IPTABLES -A HASHLIMIT \ --match hashlimit --hashlimit-name demo_site --hashlimit-mode srcip,dstip \ --hashlimit 1/minute --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-htable-expire 20000 --hashlimit-htable-gcinterval 1000 -j ACCEPT This allows 1 request per 20 seconds from IP. -- Georgi Chorbadzhiyski http://georgi.unixsol.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
