Hello All,

We have openssl 0.9.8r on our Linux Server. 

A Nessus security scan on our Linux server tells us that we may be
vulnerable to a potential DOS due to  SSL/TLS Renegotiation
Vulnerability [CVE-2011-1473].

The suggestions of mitigating these (we believe) are:

1. Disable Re-Negotiation completely.  {We CANNOT use this choice,
because our system does need to allow Re-Negotiation in some cases. So
NOT an option for us}

2. "Rate-Limit" Re-Negotiations.

Can someone please provide detailed information/guidance about exactly
how to go about  "Rate-Limiting" Re-Negotiation requests on the Linux
Server? Pointing to a detailed article would also be helpful.

Thanks a bunch in advance.
