    Limit max concurrent connections per IP

    I have 5 IP addresses taking up 400+ connections each to my server, which eventually overwhelms apache combined with my other traffic.

    I have pennywize to protect my members section, but nothing to protect my free files / movie galleries...

    So instead of letting one ip address get 400+ connections, how can i limit him to lets say 10?

    I know theres an apache module for
    that
    search modules.apache.org for iplimit
    If you have freebsd , ipfw has a nice limiting feature.
    So does iptables actually but you need to recompile the kernel with a patch, yack
