h1. Limit Connections
*Module: mod_evasive*
h1. Description
mod_evasive is a very simplistic module to limit connections per IP.
h1. Options
*evasive.max-conns-per-ip*
limits the number of connections per IP.
<pre>
evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 3
</pre>
You may also want to set up conditionals :
<pre>
evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 1
$HTTP["host"] == "example.com" {
evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 2
}
$HTTP["host"] == "example2.com" {
evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 0
}
</pre>
0 means unlimited.
In this case, default sites get 1 connections, example.com 2 and example2.com unlimited.
*evasive.silent*
doesn't log blocked ips in error.log if enabled.
<pre>
evasive.silent = "enable"
</pre>
*evasive.location* (since 1.4.40)
If connection limit is exceeded and @evasive.location@ is configured, respond with 302 Found (temporary redirect) and Location: @evasive.location@ instead of returning 403 Forbidden.
@evasive.location = "http://external.site/busy.html"@ must be an external site on a different server or else a redirect loop will result.
