Using .htaccess to restrict acess

[ra05li]

I'm developing using Apache as the web server.
I'm pretty new in using Apache but I understand that there's a way where I can allow access only to a set of given IPs using .htaccess file.
What I'm wondering is if there's a way we can restrict how often a single IP address access the page.
Could someone please advice?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Have you looked at the Apache documentation at all?

Yes, but not all of them.
I did read about the access control from the Authentication, Authorization, and Access Control section.

But i was just wondering if there's a way to control how often a single IP/ domain can access , not only who can have the access control.

Am I on the right path?
