I have already replaced it with the qos module. However, I can answer your questions: > What is the output of `apache2ctl -M | grep -i evasive`? That one showed "evasive" as output. It was one of the first steps to confirm that the module was loaded. > Also you could perform a DOS yourself via `ab -c 50 -n 1000 > http[s]://example.org/` (with ab from the package apache2-utils). I did with the exact same values from multiple servers and from localhost. There was no reaction, no block, no log entry. I debugged this for over an hour without getting evasive to work. The server in question only provides some static sites. Thus, nothing fancy here. May I asked if you have tested under Trixie or Sid? Regards, Daniel
