    I need to limit a server to only letting 4 concurrent connections per i.p. at once.

    Thank you very much for any help on this.

    Hi Charles,

    To any service in particular, or just to the server as a whole?

    I would be for apache or port 80. It's for his website so something in htaccess would be ideal.

    I don't believe that you can do it in standard apache. However, you can do it using mod_throttle I believe by using its ThrottlePolicy directive within a VirtualHost container in httpd.conf like this:
    Code:
    <IfModule mod_throttle.c>
 ThrottlePolicy Request 4 1
</IfModule>
    A Request here is an IP address and we're limited 4 connections per 1 second:
