I would like to limit the number of HTTP (port 80) requests that any one 
IP address can make agaist an Apache web server per second or per 
minute.  I think iptables has such functionality.  Can someone give me 
an example of how to do it?  Is there a better way to do it or is 
iptables the best route?

Thanks!
