Hi Bryan,

Yes we're using Apache and I researched that as well, but:
First, I'm thinking that an Apache module cannot reliably enforce a
connection limit - after all, the module can only act *after* the
connection has been established.
Second, I have not found an apache module that is included in Debian
(required for automatic security updates) and is able to do that.
* mod_limitipconn is not available for Debian (it seems)
* mod_bw cannot limit connections per IP, only per scope
* mod_evasive counts hits on an object, not parallel connections
However, if you can point me to one I would give it a try anyway.
And after all, it really bugs me that apparently connlimit is supposed
to do what I want, but shows this erratic behavior...
