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 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 = 2
999
}
$HTTP["host"] == "example2.com" {
evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 0
100
}
0 means unlimited.
In this case, default sites get 1 connections, regardless of example.com 2 and example2.com unlimited.
or example2.com, mod_evasive will be set to 1.
