RE: [users@httpd] limit max number of simultaneous connections from same ip

I found a mod that lets you set an IP limit on a per auth user basis, which
is exactly what I was looking for, it also let you set an IP limit on unauth
users but that's exactly what we wanted to avoid so it works great in this
form:


Dir1 which has all the images and html files
-> dir2 which has some files inside and its protected by .htaccess

So.. Anybody has any number of connections on the open dir but as soon as
they try to take something from dir2, the auth system asks for a user and
then limit the user to only on connection to that dir but no dir1.

Works like a charm...

If anybody needs to do something like this, the mod is called mod_choke and
can be found here:

|To add to the comments of others, you also have the situation

|are behind a single proxy, which has a single IP, so you would 
|limit all those users to one connection to your web server.
