There was a post in this list a few days back about mod_throttle. If you use FreeBSD and you are looking to throttle a bit, then use IPFW's ability set firewall rules and throttle traffic. This works EXTREMELY well, as you can throttle by port, range of ports, or just by single IP. You can also be protocol independant as well, throttling only UDP or only TCP or all.
If you linux, then I recommend you take a look at the QoS features in the linux kernel. I use the htb queue for mine. This is extremely cool software, and allows you to really get a cooking setup running. The queing I'm referring to is class based, so you esentially set one root path, and then specify children off of it. The children can all borrow from each other when the other child is not using its bandwidth. There is also the option of bursting to help out under network stress. Its a little complex to understand if you are new to networking in general, but this software works EXTREMELY well.
