One thing that would be quite cool is bandwidth control on a per user basis. and per directory too... Guenter.
RE: Bandwidth control
As you point out, that level of granularity isn't available with general purpose traffic shaping tools. You may want to look at the Zeus server to understand the features that were product-worthy as one example. It appears that they've only implemented this at the virtual server level.

I sent in a patch to 1.3.20 but nobody has appeared to be interested in it. I feel like this is the SGI 10x patch deal all over again. Would anyone care to look at the patch if I sent it in again? hi Jason. the apache group at the moment isn't really interested in adding new features to the 1.3.X server. there concentrating on getting the 2.0 release out. I don't have commit access to the apache tree, but I assure you they do look at the patches and sometimes they might even implement them ;-) (do you have a bandwith module for 2.0.X ???)
