     222There are modules that allow you to do rate limiting within the webserver, but if you have a machine using IPTables, you can limit a given IP address to only 5 connections at once using: 
     223 
     224{{{ 
     225-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m connlimit --connlimit-above 5 --connlimit-mask 32 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset 
     226}}} 
     227 
     228You can also set limits per IP block by reducing `--connlimit-mask`.  Use `--connlimit-mask=24` for a 256 IP address block.
