PHREL is a Per Host RatE Limiter. It will track the rate of incoming traffic to a server and insert insert a chain into iptables when a configured threshold is crossed. The inserted chain may either rate limit or block the offending host for a period of time. It is particularly well suited to protecting nameservers (DNS) from random flood requests. Please see: phreld(1) and phreld.conf(5) for post-install configuration, and /etc/rc.d/rc.local for daemon auto-start.
