But do be careful with that one. Though it is designed to look for "X-Forwarded-For"-Headers by caching proxies, not all proxies set that header. So you might deny access to people using those proxies. And you have to look at traffic patterns for your website first, so that you do not set the access limits too low and deny regular traffic to your website (if you - for example - have many small images on your website).
