Sample mod_limitipconn Configuration:

<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c> # Set a server-wide limit of 10 simultaneous downloads per IP, # no matter what. MaxConnPerIP 10 <Location /somewhere> # This section affects all files under http://your.server/somewhere MaxConnPerIP 3 # exempting images from the connection limit is often a good # idea if your web page has lots of inline images, since these # pages often generate a flurry of concurrent image requests NoIPLimit image/* # exclude local IP addresses from limits LocalIP 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.100 </Location> <Directory /home/*/public_html> # This section affects all files under /home/*/public_html MaxConnPerIP 1 # In this case, all MIME types other than audio/mpeg and video* # are exempt from the limit check OnlyIPLimit audio/mpeg video </Directory> </IfModule>
