Have just been helping out a friend who had enabled mod_proxy to map in another app on the same server, and later found his server was dragging its heels somewhat ;)
Disabling mod_proxy seems to have reduced the load, but I suspect he's still fielding a lot of requests from hosts still under the impression that he's running an open proxy. When fixing a similar issue once before, it seemed to take a week or two before the requests died off, during which time the server had extra load just parsing and then rejecting the proxy requests. Does anyone have a recipe for dynamically rejecting - perhaps even blocking at OS level (some potential gotchas with that, tho) - any host which makes a proxy request, so he can avoid the load from further requests?
