It's quite a powerful machine, more than 5. =)
Still doesn't work ..
/sbin/iptables -N LIMITSTAT
/sbin/iptables -A LIMITSTAT -p udp -m limit --limit 1000/sec --limit-burst
1000 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A LIMITSTAT -p udp -j DROP
# Add a limit/drop chain for "getinfo" packets that limits it to 10 a
second for all servers.
# If you are only protecting one server, you can set the number from 10
down to 4 (or 2 even).
/sbin/iptables -N LIMITINFO
/sbin/iptables -A LIMITINFO -p udp -m limit --limit 1000/sec --limit-burst
1000 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A LIMITINFO -p udp -j DROP
Can you e-mail me so we can experiment?
Thank you. :)
