Re: [users@httpd] Limiting the number of accesses per directory

[Robert Mena <rt...@yahoo.com>]

Hi Robert,

I want to be able to do two things :
a) limit the amount of bandwidth used by some users.  
b) limit the number of apache children used by certain
users

Reasoning :
item a) will prevent a popular site (perhaps with mp3
or "strange" material to eat all my bandwidth.   Item
b) Since I have limited hardware resources (memory,
processor etc) Would be nice to avoid all 254 httpd
processes to be taken by a single site.

I do not have control of the page. Could be a php
generated or a plain html

What does it do ?

> mod_throttle?
