Thanks for the idea. I looked at both. mod_evasive would be the one,
but it keeps traffic information on a per web site basis. The problem
is that I have hundred of web sites and the spider tries to access one
page at a time, but one page of each web site...

OK I have to dig that further.

Thanks,

Olivier
