hi

we are looking for a way to change the nginx’s behavior if certain  
conditions related to time are met. like for example if one source ip  
requests more than 10 times a minute we would like to redirect it to  
somewhere else. or also if one certain cookie from a client gets  
received more than x times per x seconds we would like to deliver an  
alternative page. is there any way how nginx can do things like this?  
if not i might start to write a module to provide this kind of  
behavior, since i think it’s probably not very hard to implement.

thanks,

mauro
