Mod_evasive or similar for Apache on OS X

Question

Hello Folks,
Anyone using mod_evasive or similar product on OS X ?
We are having the occasional problem with kiddies and are looking for some basic ddos protection.
Cheers,
Ross.

Made progress -
Setting the max_packet_size seemed to start the 1st time CF10 admin process, just like it did with CF9 the 1st time we access the administrator. Then, it just went to a blank white screen.
mod_jk.log reports:
[error] ajp_process_callback::jk_ajp_common.c (1825): Unknow ajp protocol code: 0F
[error] ajp_process_callback::jk_ajp_common.c (2426): (cfusion) connecting to tomcat failed
Now: here is something interesting:
Look at the end of the URL when it 1st attempts to access administrator: It is index.cfm?configServer=true or index.cfm?serverConfig=true
By removing this it allows me to simply click on the "continue" option and low and behold the CF admin comes up.
I also have an issue with topnav.cfm reporting a 400 (Bad Request)
Quiting the browser and comming back to CF Admin displays the login page but after enter username and password I land on index.cfm and it goes no further.
Refreshing the page starts to rope in various admin componets.
Also, it will not process any simple cfm template reporting an internal server error.
Hopefully this has to do with this being a beta.
