mod_geoip Revisted including stopping spam in phpBB 2

Anonymous apache & PHP for cPanel
So I've started playing with cPanel/WHM recently. I've got to say it does make my life immensely easier, at, in my opinion, reduced security. So I'm working on security cPanel/WHM. Apart from the obvious, which I won't go into in this post, we'll make apache and PHP anonymous.
