You can create a PerlAccessHandler In addition to Jesses's comments, I'd suggest that you might want to look at firewalling techniques to eliminate the requests before they ever reach your server. If your mod_perl server is doing the access denial, then there has already been a lot of processor activity wasted on the attack. Something like IPCop is freely available, easy to configure (if you avoid pitfalls with multiple Ethernet cards being shuffled:) and very effective. But there is no easy solution to a determined DOS attack on an open IP. 73, Ged.
