Jaroslav,

I believe this is not a job for pound. These kinds of attacks usually have to be caught on the network layer before they reach the load balancer. If you have a firewall before your site (which you should) see if it is capable of any DoS attack protection. If you don't, you best contact you connection provider and work this out with them.

Also, there are software based firewalls available on all platforms (iptables, pf or some such), which can be used for this purpose.

Hi all,

it is possible to define in pound number of same page loads from one IP address in some time frame? It is done from several IPs, it opens hundreds connections to database driven pages and database subsystem goes down. Page cointains some uncacheable data.

Or do you have tip for some tool what it does?

I have Zope2.9.4 behind, where is not possible to define connection timeout at webserver nor database connector.

Many thanks, J. Lukesh
