Hi all,

unluckily my apache sometimes gets bombed with new connections and so doesn't work
anymore. I think this is a DOS attack from some stupid guy out there...

Just thought iptables could help me out here.
Is it possible (and how) to only allow say 5 new connectios per second for
an ip address ? Would this be enough for a normal apache user or would he get
connection errors ? Are there any other ways of protecting my server from
being overloaded (currently I sent the maxclients count to 75 which is almost
reached some times..)

Thanks a lot,
Corin
