Hi there, I was wondering if HAProxy helps in the following situation:
- We have a wiki site which is quite slow - Regular users don't have many problems - We also get crawled by a search bot, which creates many concurrent connections, more than the hardware can handle - Therefore, service is degraded and users usually have their browsers time out on them Given that we can't make the wiki faster, I was thinking that we could solve this by having a per-source-IP queue, which made sure that a given source IP cannot have more than e.g. 3 requests active at the same time. Requests beyond that would get queued. Is this possible? Thanks, Wout.
