I'm using mod_evasive with Apache. And there is an directive to whitelist the IP(s). Like:

DOSWhitelist 127.0.0.1
DOSWhitelist 10.0.*.*
DOSWhitelist 100.200.*.*

This is fine because we need to whitelist some of our own IPs. But the problem is:

  • after i did this white-listing, my Apache is totally not saving any access_log for that IPs anymore.
  • the access_log got totally no records for that IPs anymore.

Is this happening to everyone? I was expecting the mod_evasive to be just white-listing only (a.k.a: not to block those IPs) -- but not to let Apache totally hands off from those IPs. (Of course i still need access logs!)

Is this a known trade-off of using mod_evasive?
Any idea please?
