  Description     : evasive module to minimize HTTP DoS or brute force attacks

(from the website:)
mod_evasive is an evasive maneuvers module for Apache to provide evasive
action in the event of an HTTP DoS or DDoS attack or brute force attack.
It is also designed to be a detection and network management tool, and
can be easily configured to talk to ipchains, firewalls, routers, and
etcetera. mod_evasive presently reports abuses via email and syslog
facilities.

Note that a package for apache 1.3.x exists and is called
libapache-mod-dosevasive.  This package could be called
libapache2-mod-dosevasive to be consistent?
