Crude empirical testing:-
telnet mywww.system 80
[... do nothing...]
This gets thrown off after Timeout seconds
telnet mywww.system 443
[... do nothing...]
This one hangs longer than I was willing to wait...

Not so much break as limit... I'm looking at this as a means to put an
upper limit on what people are doing to my systems - I do precisely the
same on my mailers (no single IP can have more than 10% of the system
capacity in terms of number of incoming connections). Now in my case I
know that these boxes are not being used by people with masq gateways but
then this is a relatively specialised application. Other people's mileage
may and probably will vary. I guess a note in the documentation for any
such option would be useful.
