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.
eg.: ::
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.
