Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the tip. I tried adding this to the end of the 10_setup.conf:
SecRule REQUEST_LINE "^(GET /|OPTIONS \*) HTTP/1.0$"
"phase:1,allow,nolog,chain,t:none"
SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "^(127\.0\.0\.|\:\:)1$" "chain, t:none"
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:User-Agent "^Apache.*\(internal
dummy connection\)$"
Restarted apache and still kept getting:
DEBUG: [13/Jul/2012:15:34:13 +0000]
[ip-10-128-81-72.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal/sid#7f5fdc6a0370][rid#7f5fd
f6310a0][*][3] Could not set variable "ip.dos_counter" as the collection
does not exist.

Thinking that maybe the "chaining" of the rules was preventing a match, I
tried the following rules, all UNCHAINED (again, appended at the end of
10_setup.conf)
SecRule REQUEST_LINE "^(GET /|OPTIONS \*) HTTP/1.0$" "phase:1,allow,nolog"
SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "^(127\.0\.0\.|\:\:)1$" "phase:1,allow,nolog"
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:User-Agent "^Apache.*\(internal
dummy connection\)$" "phase:1,allow,nolog"
Result: Still kept getting the same errors.
Am I doing something wrongly? Is appending the rules to 10_setup.conf wrong?
Is there something wrong with the rules, which inadvertently allows the
apache internal dummy connection through?
Thank you so much.

The rules in the 47 common exceptions file will only adjust the anomaly
scores. You could take these rules and place them into local 15 files and
add the "alllow" action to them.
