We got a few honeypot scripts:

awstats.pl
formmail.pl

.. that append 'deny from $REMOTE_ADDRESS' to:

/etc/apache/conf.d/naughty_ip.txt

Right now there 419 individual ip# in the file.

At what point is apache likely to slow down ?

Would things be faster with iptables ?

Hi all,

I need to import many zone files in Win 2k3 to Bind.
"Bind" does not accept the format of these files, and I can not write by hand.
Do you know any tool or script to convert formats in zone files?

Thank you all.

Hello
I have pppoe server with about 200-500 clients online - all of them
have public IP adresses and I use a "proxyarp" option in my pppoe
server what means the same as proxy_arp in /proc/sys/net but only for
my pppX interfaces (not for eth0, eth1 etc )

A typical entry in arptable looks like this :

? (217.10.10.10) at * PERM PUP on eth0

Some of my clients have long uptime of their routers (i suppose this
is the cause) and after some time they cannot contact with other
machines in my public subnet 217.10.10.x

When i tried to troubleshoot the problem i've found that machine's
that they can;t reach have an "" arp entry like :

? (217.10.10.10) at on eth1

then i've checked on the main router (pppoe-server)
