Thank you for the reply.

They are not asking me to install dos-deflate, they are asking if its ok for them to install dos-deflate.

After exchanging emails, I told the support people to go ahead and reinstall dos-deflate. I think someone put the limit too low, and that is why people started getting blocked.

The other option that was suggested was to recompile apache for multithreaded architecture (MPM support), or upgrade to an entry level dedicated server.
