hi Jim, you can count http response errors then decide to trigger a tarpit if you go over a threshold. An example can be found in this blog article, about load-balancing WAF: http://blog.haproxy.com/2012/10/16/high-performance-waf-platform-with-naxsi-and-haproxy/ Look for the http_err_rate keyword.
