Hi Ben, not that I know of, but if you put your OAI behind Apache, you can use the MaxRequestWorkers directive [1]. The drawback there is that it doesn't issue a temporary error HTTP status code to the client, it just queues him. The request will most likely time out, so the OAI server may appear unresponsive. Ideally, according to the OAI-PMH spec, you would want to issue a 503 response code and a Retry-After header [2]. I'd probably write a simple HTTP wrapper in Python to do this.
