           Summary: RFE -- external overload procedure
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: worker
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: juergu@solnet.ch


please consider this posting as a request for enhancement

httpd knows about his overload situation.
---- [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients
setting
this overload is easily created by an external attacker. in case of an attack
you have to react. best done on a lower osi-layer (iptables, pf, ...).
realtime log analysis has his own odds and twists. we would prefer a call to an
'external helper procedure'.

additional tool to fight against DoS and even DDoS attacks.

patches for worker and prefork are available
