Is there a way to reset the QS_SrvMaxConnPerIP counter back to 0 for each IP address after a certain amount of time has passed since reaching the maximum threshold? How often do these blocks reset?
For example, if QS_SrvMaxConnPerIP is set to 50, what happens after I visit more than 50 pages and click on different links within 5 minutes on the same qos protected server? From the looks of it, I get banned, but when am I allowed back in? Is there a setting that we can modify which would allow us to reset the counter back to 0 after a certain amount of time has passed, like say 2 minutes in my example?
Please let me know.

Thanks!
QS_SrvMaxConnPerIP limits the number of concurrent TCP connections established by a client.
Right, but when the limit is hit, when is the ban / drop period reset / how long is the block enforced?
I don't know if it's not supposed to work that way or not, but when I close the connections (my browser), I am still not able to reaccess the web server. It seems if QS_SrvMaxConnPerIP is set to 50, once I hit 50 page requests (independent time frame), I am blocked and can no longer access the server ever until the apache module is restarted...
