bwshare apache module

Paul Westbrook | 03 February, 2006 04:24

Today, the server that is running this blog was running out of memory.  The problem was there was a subnet range that was hitting different urls on this blog in a rapid succession.  I had apache configured so that it was was allowing 150 child threads.  This with them memory requirements of LifeType, the box was running out of memory.

After I fixed the apache configuration, I also setup iptables to block requests from that range.  In addition, I installed the bwshare apache module.  This module will automatically change the response to to a html warning message, which will not require the php script to be run.
