I'm not sure how well fail2ban would work for any of this. The majority of machines hitting my hardware are residential IPs through proxy services. It is unusual for there to be more than a handful from any one address, which is why I've ended up querying ASNs for abusive traffic and dumping whole routes into the the packet filter. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- Go Computer Now! -- Sphere Corporation -------------------------------------
