Judging from the way the last thread on this subject played out: http://groups.google.com/group/openbd/browse_thread/thread/c4cd349facac3437/9b57f86af8d7108d
It appears as though CFTHROTTLE is 8 ys old, wonky, unsupported - and should probably be deprecated?
So, I'm wondering what folks in the newer Ubuntu / Apache2 / Tomcat space are using instead. At first glance, mod_throttle and mod_bandwidth look to be outdated Apache1 or dead projects.
To paraphrase what Alan said in '09; a CFML solution is a bit 'late' because a voluminous request will have already hit your application layer at that point. I'd really like to nip these earlier. Hardware solutions are out of the question, and I'd really like to avoid wholesale platform & server changes as well.
Please, a discussion of what you use to meter the requests of over-anxious bots and login attacks.
