Topic: Using Apache 2.2 and limit the amount of web requests to apa

[oziworld]

I have the following code as below:

"ProxyPass /CUST-WAV/ http://192.168.2.4:8080/CUST-WAV/
ProxyPassReverse /CUST-WAV/ http://192.168.2.4:8080/CUST-WAV/"

When my customers type in my domain name with /CUST-WAV/

ie http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/CUST-WAV/ it gos to my web server ie 192.168.2.4:8080.


Now I have some hackers who are pounding my web server and calling

either

http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/CUST-WAV/xyz.jsp
http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/CUST-WAV/yax.html


This is crashing my webserver.

I want to know how I can limit the amount of web requests per minute from IP addresses using apache and not my webserver

Please let me know?

You could limit it by IP, if you know the IP's or limit it by domain

Thank you for this answer.

I was wondering can I limit the number of requests per time period from apache to my web server?

ie so that if a hacker that has more than 1 IP address begins hacking us, apache will limit the number of requests per minute?
