I have a connlimit rule in iptables that allow only 5 connection to port 80. iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 5 --connlimit-saddr -j DROP This rule works fine till I restore iptables. After restore rules, connlimit counters start over and clients/attackers can open 5 more connection. Is it possible to avoid this situation? -- İbrahim Ercan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
