Hi all,

I want to enable pike module based on IP addresses. I mean ... I don't want to check if requests from some specific IP addresses trigged the Pike's threshold. but for all other IP addresses I want to check it. I was thinking about using some kind of IP addresses' whitelist. The userblacklist module has some whitelist but it's based on username/domain not IP addresses.

Can someone please give me some advice how to implement it properly. Is there any module that will allow me to do it properly?

you can use permissions module.

if(!allow_source_address("grouptoskip")) { # do the pike logic here }

If you have 1-2 addresses that do not change, you can use if(src_ip==ipaddress...). Default config file for 3.1.0 comes with such logic.

Cheers, Daniel

for example, you can use permission module allow_source_address() function (or something like that name) to check if the address is in the set you don't want to pike on.
