#
# The hash table size defines the number of top-level nodes for each
# child's hash table. Increasing this number will provide faster
# performance by decreasing the number of iterations required to get to
# the record, but consume more memory for table space. You should
# increase this if you have a busy web server. The value you specify
# will automatically be tiered up to the next prime number in the
# primes list (see mod_evasive.c for a list of primes used).

#
# This is the threshhold for the number of requests for the same page
# (or URI) per page interval. Once the threshhold for that interval has
# been exceeded, the IP address of the client will be added to the
# blocking list.

DOSPageCount 2
#
# This is the threshhold for the total number of requests for any
# object by the same client on the same listener per site interval.
# Once the threshhold for that interval has been exceeded, the IP
# address of the client will be added to the blocking list.

# The interval for the page count threshhold; defaults to 1 second

#
# The blocking period is the amount of time (in seconds) that a client
# will be blocked for if they are added to the blocking list. During
# this time, all subsequent requests from the client will result in a
# 403 (Forbidden) and the timer being reset (e.g. another 10 seconds).
# Since the timer is reset for every subsequent request, it is not
# necessary to have a long blocking period; in the event of a DoS
# attack, this timer will keep getting reset.

# If this value is set, an email will be sent to the address specified

#
# If this value is set, the system command specified will be executed
# whenever an IP address becomes blacklisted. This is designed to
# enable system calls to ip filter or other tools. A locking mechanism
# using /tmp prevents continuous system calls. Use %s to denote the IP
# address of the blacklisted IP.

#DOSSystemCommand "su - someuser -c '/sbin/... %s ...'"

# Choose an alternative temp directory By default "/tmp" will be used
# for locking mechanism, which opens some security issues if your
