Hi,

On linux it is possible to do this at the firewall using iptables rules.  Some 
ESGF nodes did this early in development, although we don't use it any more.  I 
don't have the configuration notes to hand but a quick google brings up some 
useful links.  E.g.

Dear THREDDS team,

is there a possibility to limit the maximum count of connections from one IP 
address in THREDDS? Or something simlilar?
A THREDDS user just downloaded many Files per HTTPServer by wget and obviously 
used many simultaneous connections. This slowed our Apache-Webserver down 
because its maximum count of incoming connections has been exceeded. What can I 
do to avoid that?

Thank you very much in advance!
Remon
