Hi all,
Last night I managed to DoS someone's Koha box accidentally, Of course
I called up to inform them that they need to restart the services. But
this set me thinking. Anyone running a crawler against the export
options in the OPAC can DoS down a stock Koha install running on a
VPS, by flooding it with too many requests too fast.
What are the usual recommended practises to limit / mitigate / handle
such cases?
thanks in advance
