To protect your server from DoS attacks on te webserver you might want to install mod_evasive.

Add the module to Apache:

$ a2enmod evasive

Edit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/evasive.conf and enter the following:

<IfModule mod_evasive20.c>
    DOSHashTableSize    3097
    DOSPageCount        100
    DOSSiteCount        100
    DOSPageInterval     15
    DOSSiteInterval     15
    DOSBlockingPeriod   60
</IfModule>

We tested this configuration it works well with Group-Office.
