[Mod_log_sql] Possibility of integrating mod_cband features in mod_log_sql

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi there!

There's a lot of people that would be interested in having something
like mod_cband, but a working one. The goal is to have an apache module
that would be capable of maintaining a score board, and do throttling
for each vhosts of a web server, in order to provide shared hosting.

I have already worked out a score board in mod_log_sql. So this part is
already done. Now, we'd have to work on something that can actually USE
this information in order to slow down somebody that is out of bandwidth
quota.

What do you think Edward? Would you be interested in working on this
with me and others? I have at least 2 other people that would be
interested, but they told me that they are not so good in programming. I
think I could work something out, but I know that you are a lot better
than me at doing apache modules.

Did you look at mod_cband? It seems nice, but it has been removed from
Debian because it's buggy, and the upstream is quite dead. The issue
here is that mod_cband uses a FILE score board, while we can do a lot
better in DB.

let me know what you think,

Thomas
