We have taken steps to ensure that servers that are of highest risk to large apache loads and/or floods have been given a helping hand in dealing with such issues. Apache has been limited to the amount of resources it can hog and whilst allowing this service a relatively small amount of system memory and cpu-time we have ensured that genuine http requests will not be disallowed and that access times have not been slowed down.
Our aim for this small project is to increase all-round system firmness, not to stop genuine http requests from being processed in the usual short amount of time. However, if any user notices downtime, particularly of http, we urge them to contact us with the server name, time, date and length of downtime so that we can maintain correct thresholds for resource limiting.
