| There is dosevasive, but that blocks the request only with a 403 error. The server still has to handle that request. It only will reduse outgoing traffic. A better solution is blocking that with a router that is before the apache server. |

re: "How can a router know what to block? "
Many (but not all) routers have a setup page for "IP Filtering" or "IP Address-Based Filtering" where you can enter an IP address and specify that it is to be always rejected.

Try to use mod_limit http://freed0m.org/?index=mod_limit
This is special anti DDoS module. |

I can not get mod_limit to operate on apache 2,2,9
No problems when I, previously, compiled it with apache 228 using VC6+ after down-converting the project. But it now wants to crash on start.... oh well, I'll keep trying but only in my spare time |
