<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Just a smal question. Is it possible to temporarily send a specific http errorcode back (e.g. http 429) to an ip from varnish using the commandline client (or by any other means) without restarting varnish?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Consider this scenario:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">A varnish cluster is running nicely. Among other things it also gives access to a set of developer api’s.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Not all programmers are equally skilled so sometimes it happens that a programmer creates a loop that is flooding the platform.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">At this moment I use fail2ban to just block it in iptables and unblock it after 10 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">However I would prefer instead of blocking it that I can just reroute the requests of this ip temporarily to an errorpage which returns http 429 (which as statuscode also should be returned bij Varnish)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Important with this is than that no varnish restarts are required.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Any ideas?</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>
