That was my first impression too, but the patch for apache is only necessary for clients using proxies. Without the apache patch, 2 clients using the same proxy will be counted as the same client. This would only affect high-traffic sites, which you can call a limitation. For not-so-high-traffic sites, it shouldn't be a big problem. > > I believe I used mod_throttle or mod_bandwidth once, and was dissapointed > > that it just refuses connections after the limits have been reached (or > > was that user error?). > > I haven't used mod_iplimitconn myself, but it seems to be a good way to > > set a maximum to connections per client adress. > > Have you tried mod_bwshare yet? > http://www.deserve-it.com/third_party_modules_for_apache2_1.html No, I haven't. According to the docs on the site it seems good. It at least gives a usefull error :-) Better then "connection refused" or something. I should try it out. -- Marcel Pol
