Mod_evasive apache module configuration issues

apache-2.2httpd.conf

I have configured mod_evasive to not block google bot's IPs. But it's still banning google bots. Here is my configuration in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

<IfModule mod_evasive20.c>
  DOSHashTableSize 4097
  DOSPageCount 3
  DOSSiteCount 100
  DOSPageInterval 3
  DOSSiteInterval 5
  DOSBlockingPeriod 10
  DOSLogDir "/var/log/httpd/modevasive/"
  DOSEmailNotify dare1235@gmail.com
  DOSWhitelist    127.0.0.1
  DOSWhitelist    66.249.*.*
</IfModule>

Here google bot IP is 66.249..

The above configuration is not working and it's still banning DOSWhitelist 66.249.. IPs.

What am I doing wrong?

I think you have a syntax problem. Try just 66.249.*
