Performance tweaks
Does anybody know of a way to always allow connections from a given domain
or subnet, thereby bypassing (or sidestepping) the MaxClients
directive? My problem is, my web server is hit with a lot of requests and
fills up frequently, but I want to somehow give clients in my local domain
a higher priority and either always serve them first or refuse remote
connections before refusing connections from the local domain.
Thanks in advance.

Isn't that what Layer3 content switching is about - we use that for
prioritising specific paying customers over gratis types - Arrowpoint /
Cisco etc, etc - be interested if such can be done at the Apache level
though !

maybe many of your server slots are filled by keepalive connections (you
can verify it with mod_status) (yes it happened to me!); reducing the
keepalive timeout, or disabling keepalive completely, may help in this
case.
hope it helps.
