Can ipfw limit the number requests in a given amount of time from a = specific IP? To contextualise, if an IP sends requests in high concurrency (let's say = 50 a second) can ipfw either block requests the exceed a threshold for = that second (lets say the threshold is 20, 30 would be blocked), or = ban/deny the given IP for exceeding a threshold? The aim is to lessen strain under DoS attacks, specifically for HTTP. = The system is using Apache and mod_evasive has been added and tested, = but it is not functioning correctly.=20 (P.S. The freebsd-ipfw list seems to be for development of the = technology only, so asking this here. Please let me know if this isn=E2=80= =99t the case) Thanks=20 Kind regards,=20 Will Squire=
