Hi all,
Does anyone know/have a way to throttle (delay or drop) on:

a) Number of active connections matching a particular rule.
b) Limit the number of connections from a single host.
b) Bandwidth of 'any' individual client being greater than some value.

Reasons:
a) Is so that a web server never becomes flooded with more
   connections than it (or it's backend) can handle.
b) Is so that a single client cannot use more than x% of (a).
c) Is so I can limit the bandwidth any individual host can use.

Any ideas folks? Can mod_throttle or anything else do some of this?

Thanks,
Dom
