Yes - it is something we need to do when we come under attack at work - as often the attacks are not enough to trigger standard intrusion detection (esp as our requests can be quite heavy)

Thank you, but "Firewalld" or "iptables" can't do it automatically? When an IP sending many request then it automatically blocked.

Jason,
I would also query why your process are ~ 1G resident that seems quite large for apache.
What modules do you have enabled - even with mod_perl embedded I would not want them to go about 500-800M depending on the site of your box.
I know Apache is very good at grabbing memory for each process - but it doesn't tend to hand it back - and just keeps it (just in case)
It looks like you either have a memory leak - or the code is collecting too much data before squirting it out
There are other setups that you may want to look at if you have large dynamic requests and a lot of small static request (images/css/js) where you run two web servers - one serving static content and proxying back to dynamic content.

Put a firewall rule into block whatever that first IP address is then.
Something like:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule="rule family='ipv4' source address='X.X.X.X' reject"
If you are seeing a current attack then you can tweak Charles' command line to:
tail -10000 access.log | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head
or I often use cut instead of awk..
tail -10000 access.log | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head

Run this against your log file in bash shell
cat access.log | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head
This will show you most frequent IPs, sorted in descending order. Block as needed
