Problem with high server load and bad spiders

[clinton4]

Hi,

I got a server running with ~100 domains. Some times i notice that there is a lot of httpd processes running at the same time and this is causing a very high server load (up to ~70,00 sometimes). My guess is that there are some bad spiders crawling my server. So, i'am wondering if there is a way to detect spiders like this and automatically block them out?

For improving performance I can suggest you use Apache in background. Look at this documentation.

Hi,

The heading says "Parallels Plesk Panel 9.3 for Windows Advanced Administration Guide". Does your link also apply to Linux?

Are you sure? After clicking to provided link I see "Parallels Plesk Panel 9.3 for Linux/Unix Advanced Administration Guide". Or what do you mean?
