Apache should incorporate features against (D)DoS-attacks

           Summary: Apache should incorporate features against (D)DoS-
                    attacks
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.43
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: info@orangexl.com


Apache should incorporate several features to protect it from (D)Dos-attacks. 
Such features could be: limiting logfile-size, limiting (peak-)bandwidth and 
connections per time-unit and/or ip/addressblock.

With the fast growing number of broadband connections, client-side bandwidth is 
growing faster as server-side bandwidth and capability. Thus making HTTP-
services more vulnerable to such attacks.
While third-party and commercial solutions are availeble, these can be very 
expensive or not actively maintained. Also, such security features should be 
availeble after a basic installation.
