[Slashcode-general] mod_rewrite?

[barry <sla...@i1...>]

my server (like everyone's probably) is getting pounded by nimda scans. I 
would like to use mod_rewrite to deflect those somehow (I found some 
examples on the net somewhere, url not handy right now).

Then I noticed that running "httpd -l "on my server showed rewrite was not 
one of the modules.

Do I need to rebuild apache? If so how do I add mod_rewrite? Or do I just 
need to add a LoadModule/AddModule pair into http.conf? In case it is the 
latter, I noticed that my machine has neitehr rewrite.c nor rewrite.so on 
it - where would I get those from?

Of course if someone has another suggestion for deflecting evil scanning 
threads, I am all ears.

Thanks!

Barry
