Plugin for throttling traffic from an IP

Hi,

Is there an existing plugin for ATS available for throttling traffic from
certain ip's?
If i get more than 1000 connections per minute from ip x, return a 502
unavailable message to any further connections from x for a specified time.

I do not wish to do this with iptables, since that will not allow me to
provide an http response with a valid error.


Thanks,
SuperUn

Maybe take a look at Ironbee (https://github.com/ironbee/ironbee) it comes with an ATS plugin.
