*SOLVED* iptables ipt_recent support in openvz? [message #2021]

Hello,

I'd like to ask is the current openvz version cannot support the ipt_recent module yet? Can I fix it by rebuilding the kernel?

It is because if ipt_recent can be used, it can use the iptables to do a very powerful per client ip address connection limitation inside the VPS.

I'm using the kernel version: 2.6.8-022stab064.1-smp in our production server. I've loaded the ipt_recent module at the host with modprobe already.

I've tried to add ipt_recent to /etc/sysconfig/vz IPTABLES, but it will report:
Unknown iptable module ipt_recent

Anybody have a newer kernel version have the same result too?

Thanks,
Vincent

ipt_recent is not (yet?) virtualized in OpenVZ, so it can not be used from within a VPS.

Virtualizing it is quite straightforward actually -- you do it similar to what Jason Stubbs did with ipt_REDIRECT: see these devel@ posts.

If you are not a kernel developer, you can file an enhancement request into bugzilla and wait.
