    # The hash table size defines the number of top-level nodes for each
    # child's hash table.  Increasing this number will provide faster
    # performance by decreasing the number of iterations required to get to the
    # record, but consume more memory for table space.  You should increase
    # this if you have a busy web server.  The value you specify will
    # automatically be tiered up to the next prime number in the primes list
    # (see mod_evasive.c for a list of primes used).

    # This is the threshhold for the number of requests for the same page (or

    # list.

    # The blocking period is the amount of time (in seconds) that a client will
    # be blocked for if they are added to the blocking list.  During this time,
    # all subsequent requests from the client will result in a 403 (Forbidden)
    # and the timer being reset (e.g. another 10 seconds).  Since the timer is
    # reset for every subsequent request, it is not necessary to have a long
    # blocking period; in the event of a DoS attack, this timer will keep
    # getting reset.
