We are using apache 2.2.6. We have a need to write a utility that would throttle traffic based on the element of the content. We get data from various client application that have application id assigned to them. This application id is part of the text or xml content. What we want is some utility that would prevent application request from going further to application server if they exceed certain threshold. So for eg: If application "1" is currently sending 100 transactions per sec then we should have ability to say that present "turn away" page to that application. I am not sure how we can implement that in apache 2.2.6? It would be really helpful if I could get some suggestions or if there are already some tools available out there? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
