[Info-vax] Apache... anyone built mod_limitipconn for VMS?

Unless they happen to be behind a proxy, as is the case for many ISPs
or businesses. In which case, restricting access by IP could be
blocking a lot more than 1 person.

Could mod_cband help in an alternative way ? It also features IP
limits like limitipconn, but also offers a bunch of other bandwidth-
related features, so you could have a downloads.domain.com vhost which
has these limits in place. No idea if it'll compile on VMS (did you
use APXS, by the way?) but may be worth a shot...
