Also limiting access on a per-IP has some issues with clients accessing through a proxy (MACHBA anybody?) We previously decided that the FTP server is worth protecting, whereas general blocking is not worth the trouble (IIRC) Also: anybody knows lxr well enough to say if a permanent load of 3 or 4 concurrent requests can cause something close to 100% CPU time. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
