 Description 
 =========== 

 mod_evasive is a very simplistic module to limit connections per IP. 

 Options 
 ======= 

 evasive.max-conns-per-ip 

   limits the number of connections per IP. 

   e.g.: :: 
  
     evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 3 

   IMPORTANT : Please read the limitations section. 

 Limitations 
 =========== 

 One must note that the mod_evasive does not obey conditionals. 
 Also, in only respects the first time it is set. 

   e.g.: :: 

     evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 1 

     $HTTP["host"] == "example.com" { 
       evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 999 
     } 
     $HTTP["host"] == "example2.com" { 
       evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 100 
     } 
  
  In this case, regardless of example.com or example2.com, mod_evasive will be set to 1.
