Block IP

["Mohit Anchlia" <mohitanchlia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Few questions:

 

1. We have a webserver and we use mod_jk to redirect request to a servlet to our App server. Given this situation where file on the web server doesn't get accessed how can I block the IP at web server. Only option that I know of is RewriteCond. Is that what's advisable.

 

2. Another question I had was sometimes we don't get real physical IP of the machine but the IP of something that's in between like "router", is there a way to get the real IP so that we don't end up blocking people coming from that "router" or "proxy"

 

3. Do I need to start the web server everytime new RewriteRule is added ?
