I am running
Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_01 PHP/4.0.3pl1 mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6
And run several database and MEMORY hogging mod_perl scripts... My problem is that
recently I have had some users that are getting
impatient and hitting the reload/refresh button OFTEN. In some instances this causes
one single person to have over 40 httpd
children service JUST them. This causes my server to start thrashing swap...
Does anybody on this list know of a way to limit the number of connections apache will
allow per IP address (before any reverse
lookups would be nice)? I would like to set this to like 10-15 or so if it is
possible? I know that this could cause some people
with proxy servers to be limited, but I figure 10-15 httpd children should be able to
handle most proxy systems just fine...
I know this isn't really a mod_perl problem... but I also know that this list is
probably the most likely to have other people who
have exactly this issue on their machines....
Thanks in advance
