I agree with the NIO connector which gives good results to this
problem. Also, on Linux you can configure iptables firewall to limit
the number of connections from one IP (
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/139285/limit-max-connections-per-ip-address-and-new-connections-per-second-with-iptable
)
I would not rely on Apache for this, since Apache has also its own
similar problems on some versions (with proxypass or mod-jk..)
