/**
* mod_evasive
*
* we indent to implement all features the mod_evasive from apache has
* A combination of lighttpd modules provides similar features
* to those in (old) Apache mod_evasive
*
* - limit of connections per IP
* ==> mod_evasive
* - provide a list of block-listed ip/networks (no access)
* ==> block at firewall
* ==> block using lighttpd.conf conditionals and mod_access
* ==> block using mod_magnet and an external (updatable) constant database
* https://wiki.lighttpd.net/AbsoLUAtion#Fight-DDoS
* - provide a white-list of ips/network which is not affected by the limit
* (hmm, conditionals might be enough)
* ==> allow using lighttpd.conf conditionals
* and configure evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 0 for whitelist
* - provide a bandwidth limiter per IP
* ==> set using lighttpd.conf conditionals
* and configure connection.kbytes-per-second
* - enforce additional policy using mod_magnet and libmodsecurity
* ==> https://wiki.lighttpd.net/AbsoLUAtion#Mod_Security
