Any Cisco PIX hardware firewall should do the trick. You can set the number of max requests per host per second with any of their hardware firewall devices. PIX has been discontinued but if you are trying to save money is the best bet to find one used. This has resolved any issues with any kind of DOS attacks to my servers. If money is not an issue look into an Intrusion Prevention Sensor which has the ability to shun known signatures. The latest IOS for Cisco's ASAs is capable of preventing known signatures with a license fee. Hope this helps.

Do you have any kind of hardware firewall installed?

I have a rather odd issue that I don't know how else to troubleshoot. I have a domain xxx.com with 2 subdomains a.xxx.com and b.xxx.com. The 2 sub domains are just development areas for the domain xxx, so essentially they are the exact same. The purpose of this post was to find an alternative approach to troubleshooting my issue. The issue is that the domain and sub domains all use the following .htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^~(.+)$ profile.php?n=$1 ErrorDocument 404 /error404.php If you go to a page that invokes the use of .htaccess file http://xxx.com/~profilename I get a generic 404 page not found comes up. However, the part that confuses me is that I should be getting a custom error page as if I went to http://xxx.com/somerandobs, but I don't?? Also, troubling me is that both sub domains are working perfectly. http://a.xxx.com/~profilename resolves to http://a.xxx.com/profile.php?n=profilename. I cannot think of anything outside of this domain that would cause this other than the .htaccess file. This was all working great on my legacy box before I swapped boxes. Thanks for the help in advance!

perfect! thank you so much for the help

First, thanks in advance for any help provided in finding this solution. I have been searching for the right string for a day now with no luck. I am trying to add a zero to the end of prexisting values, in all rows, and in a specific column. Any help as to the right query or pointing me in the right direction is much appreciated.
