title: Apache: mod_evasive triggering due to own page design
body: <p>Short Story:</p>
  <p>I got a page on my website with lots of <code>&lt;img src=&quot;getMyImage.php?Id=18311766&quot;/&gt;</code>-elements to basicly display a long list of pictures (with other stuff read from the database). Due to the many calls <code>mod_evasive</code> triggers and not all images are displayed anymore.</p>
  <p>More Details:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>It's just a private page for friends and family, but obviously I can't just whitelist IPs to solve the problem.</li>
  <li>I did it like that, because I didn't want to expose the pictures to &quot;the world&quot; even in the unlikely case, that someone guesses the correct url: The file itself isn't served by configuration. The php-File confirms login before returning the picture.</li>
  <li>There are not more than about max ~400 pictures = calls per outer site call.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Is it just meant to be like this and I just need to make <code>mod_evasive</code> less aggressive by increasing the number of allowed requests? A least I didn't find another configuration option.</p>
  <p>It's not like I allready had an attack...but from a learning perspective I'd like to do the things right ;)</p>
