Here's a question:
What negative effects do you expect from people hitting your website with
fake requests?
Note that by the time your fake-request-rejection script has run, your web
server has already fielded the request and initialized PHP. Not matter what
output you do or don't send, the server will issue response headers once the
script finishes. So unless their requests automatically invoke some very
CPU-intensive process, just running the rejection script is already taking
about as much load as anything else. A more effective method is:
mod_throttle. See this article:
http://www.linux-mag.com/2003-02/lamp_01.html
for more.
The other poster's point about requests from proxies is also well noted. I
would be careful blocking traffic unless you know it's malicious, or unless
it has some specific negative effect.
Cheers,
Eric

Hi All,
How can I check fake requests on my webpage. I am asking for email
address as input and I wounder if anyone write a program to send fake requests and
my system will be busy to respond those requests.
Specifically, I want to check if more than 10 requests from same IP in
last One minute then my Website should not respond to that IP.
Take care
Fakhar
