I have a lame hack I do which is to check the ns_server information to see if there is 
already a process running from the peer address via a filter.  It works for me since 
mine is an internal app and we have no proxy.

In the real world, there are proxies, so my hack would never work.

Hello,

What is the best way to limit the number of simultaneous requests from
one ip-address? Is it possible to achieve that via aolserver
configuration? Or do I have to look into something like snort?

Last Friday I got about 10reqs/sec from one funny user who wanted to
copy the entire site. She downloaded 700MB in about 25minutes. This was
quite bad for the overall performance of the server.

Many TIA,

peter
