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

You may also want to set up conditionals :

eg.: ::

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
    }

0 means unlimited.
  In this case, default sites get 1 connections, example.com 2 and example2.com unlimited.
