Are you talking about mod_limitipconn? If you are, then rename it to something
entirely different
like mod_null.
If our understanding is correct, these are one in the same, and
mod_limitipconn before submission to httpd behaved the same way
(worse, in that before Niklas' patch there was not only no DoS
protection from opening connections, but also no regular checking
of cached content.)
Sarcasm aside, it does seem that MaxConnPerIP and mod_limitipconn
are slightly misnomers. These are limits on concurrent requests
(as was the original mod_limitipconn).
