Jeff was right on the money with this statement, but I want to add a little, because I see many people misunderstand the implication. If you limit an IP's bandwidth to 300K, and this IP has 5 sites, the total aggregate bandwidth for the sites combined will not exceed 300K. Therefore throttling the bandwidth will only give each site a fraction of the total bandwidth, depending on how busy the other sites are. A note on the original topic, which I think was in regard to a Raq3, there are some apache modules that can limit the bandwidth for httpd traffic. Mod_throttle is the first that comes to mind, and I believe it works on virtual sites. It does not work on email, ftp or other non-apache services though.
