HTTPLimitRequest Module: Whitelisting IPs

[j0nes2k]

Hello,

I am trying to use the HTTPLimitRequests Module to prevent excessive
usage of resources on our server. However we also have some spikes which
seem to originate from search bots or other allowed usage. We want to
keep these requests from known IP adresses untouched and limit all other
requests. 

Is there a way to whitelist IPs using this module? 

Thank you for your answer!

Best regards,
Jonas Kaufmann
