One feature I would like to have in LVS is the ability to limit the number
of new connections/sec from a specific IP address. Now that I have 4 Real
Servers in my LVS handling mail, the spammers just love opening a couple
thousand connections to send in the mail. I end up block most at the
mail server but the connections still show up in LVS.
I know this would be dangerous and could open up DoS attacks by forging
inbound connections but if something could be done it would be great.
