- <para>A DOS, or Denial of Service attack, is when a user attempts to

- by using <filename>mod_throttle</filename> as described in

- Distributed Denial of Service attack, is when these requests come
- from multiple sources at the same time. Unfortunately, these are much
- more difficult to defend against.
