Help: Limit connection per IP?

[cheer8923]

Is there any way to limit the connection per IP?

Thanks!

Do you mean like quotes or just to allow some ips and block others?

 

[cheer8923]

I mean like 5 connection max from each IP.

never heard of it. I don't understand what you mean because anyways connections are one per ip to port 80. Do they check other ports? what is the problem?. check out this core apache feature

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html

To clarify:

I want to limit the concurrent connection from one IP address. For example, each IP can only have 5 concurrent connections.

I haven't heard about something like that before. sorry

You might want to look at

or mod_throttle

I'm not sure if there are ports for Apache 2.x yet


This looks promising...

Thanks for the info.

I am running Apache 2.2 and none of the above is ported over yet.

I also find a different one but not ported either.

I wish Apache had that built-in.

Just out of curiosity, if a network was using dynamic NAT and every connection from that network appeared to arrive from a single address, how would you expect the software to behave?

I am not running public website. It is used by a private group and we all know each other. So that part (NAT, proxy) is well understood.
