Comment (by crschmidt):
1. I've turned on "Combined" (instead of 'common') logging for Trac, so
that we can see if bots are sending user-agents that indicate contact
information in the future if this happens.
2. I've installed httpd-devel so that I can get the apxs binary. (up2date
-i httpd-devel)
3. I've downloaded and installed limitipconn:
{{{
wget http://dominia.org/djao/limit/mod_limitipconn-0.23.tar.bz2
cd mod_limitipconn-0.23
sudo make install
}}}
4. Set MaxConnPerIP 1, restarted apache, confirmed that reloading the gdal
trac page resulted in a couple 503s. Set MaxConnPerIP to 8, reloaded, and
confirmed no 503s.
This matches the default of '8' max server connections in Firefox
about:config on my mac.
We may want to apply this to other services if we see other problems like
this occuring: For now, I'd like to leave it on trac only and see what
happens.
