<para>A DOS, or Denial of Service attack, is when a user attempts to
deny access to a web server by repeatedly accessing a page or sending
malformed requests to a webserver. This can be effectively prevented
by using <filename>mod_throttle</filename> as described in
<xref linkend="security-webserver-mod-throttle"/>. A D-DOS, or
malformed requests to a webserver. A D-DOS, or
Distributed Denial of Service attack, is when these requests come

<para>It is possible for a user, by mistake or on purpose, to access
the database many times in a row which can result in very slow access
speeds for other users (effectively, a
<glossterm linkend="gloss-dos">DOS</glossterm> attack). If your
Bugzilla installation is experiencing this problem, you may install
the Apache module <filename>mod_throttle</filename> which can limit
connections by IP address. You may download this module at
<ulink url="http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_throttle/"/>.
Follow the instructions to install into your Apache install.
The command you need is
<command>ThrottleClientIP</command>. See the
<ulink url="http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_throttle/">documentation</ulink>
for more information.</para>
