Compiling the Virtual Host Access Limitting Module into Apache

Presuming you are using apache 1.3.x, adding in a third-party module is fairly straightforward.

# tar -xf apache_<version>.tar.gz
# tar -xf mod_vhost_limit.tar.gz
# cd apache_<version>
# ./configure --add-module=../mod_vhost_limit.c --enable-shared=vhost_limit ...
# make
# make install

Write in your httpd.conf:

LoadModule vhost_limit_module libexec/mod_vhost_limit.so
AddModule mod_vhost_limit.c

Directives

• MaxConnPerVhost

MaxConnPerVhost directive

Syntax: MaxConnPerVhost number
Context: Server
Override: None
Status: Third Party
Module: mod_vhost_limit
Compatibility: Apache 1.3.5 and above.

The MaxConnPerVhost directive affects how many connections can be allowed to use per a virtual host.

Example:

MaxConnPerVhost 100


simultaneous 100 connections are allowed per a virtual host. If the request was coming over this limit, apache will only send a 503 (Temporary Unavailable) message.
