Slow down, but not stop, serving pages to bot that doesn't respect robots.txt delay

[Rami Essaid]

I dont believe you can use limi_req within an if statement. You might have
to rewire the if to a different location and then apply the rule:

Example:

  if ( $http_user_agent ~* (?:bot|spider) ) {
                    error_page   403 = @bots;
        return 403;
   }

location @bots {
                limit_req zone=antiddosspider burst=1;
}
