[users@httpd] mod_slotlimit module questions

[Mohit Anchlia <mo...@gmail.com>]

I downloaded the source and compiled it. When I read Readme It's
little confusing to me. My questions are:

AvailableSlotsPercent - does it mean that upto 13 LimitSite can be allocated?
LimitSite - does it mean that the site running within the apache
itself or the external site trying to access apache server?
ClientIpLimit - What's the difference between LimitSiteConnections vs
ClientIpLimit?

Below is the output from readme:

<IfModule mod_slotlimit.c>

AvailableSlotsPercent 13

MaxConnectionsPerSite 40

LimitSite www.BadSite.xxx
LimitSiteConnections 25

ClientIpLimit 15

ForceVhostName On

</IfModule>
