Ah thanks for the info, I suspected this might be the case, as I've tried several modules all with the same result. Even the event mpm is not a solution at this stage until PHP ceases to be un-recommended with threaded apache. I'll have a word with my VPS provider but I suspect they'll be unwilling to make changes to the global system in order to patch the iptables bug in Ubuntu. The connlimit iptables match would be ideal. Oliver. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
