Details

Summary

Phabricator instances receive a very large number of requests
from datacenter servers.

Pending Anubis implementation, this temporary block will mitigate
the current server load.

The ranges2geo.py utility allows to convert a text file containing
CIDR ranges into a geo block for ngx_http_geo_module.

Test Plan

Deploy on docker-002
