Hi craig,
what I meant by blocking was, rejecting the requests because of flooding of
requests on the server
This is to avoid too many requests waiting to be sevred and not from a
particular IP adress
This will avoid overload on the server at the cost of rejecting the
requests.
can anyone help me with this

It's hard to answer this without knowing exactly what type of
"blocking" you are trying to accomplish. For example, Tomcat 4 has
request filter valves available, so that you can reject requests from
certain IP addresses or remote hostnames -- but Tomcat still has to
receive and process the request in order for it to recognize this.
If you want to prevent Tomcat from even being bothered by requests from
particular places, you'll need to implement it in hardware (with a
firewall) or equivalent software (like the tcpwrappers package in Linux)
that intercepts the request before Tomcat ever sees it.
For any solution, though, you need to be able to identify what kinds of
requests you're trying to block.
