Well, I have managed to successfully install mod_evasive, but I see IPs getting blocked without DDoS attack... The server is new, just a couple of clients being hosted and I haven't been DDoSed yet, thankfully. Shouldn't it only block if there is an attack? I guess I would have to play around...

I know Jonathan (Chirpy) created a very nice front end for MailScaner, does anyone know if a front end exists for mod_evasive yet? If not it's cool, I can still use the CLI but it would be nice :)

I've heard this is a good program to use to stop some DOS attacks but I'm wondering what is required to have it work properly. What is it checking to be able to detect and ban the IP's? Does it require a firewall to be installed? I've disabled the CustomLog and BytesLog for my domain because...

I read several times here that installing mod_evasive in Apache can kill frontpage extensions. Does anyone know exactly what goes wrong. Can you install mod_evasive and get it to work with FP. Seems like a nice mod to have but my clients would hunt me down and kill me if it hurt their frontpage...
