this is a form of authorization, it appears to fit in aaa. Perhaps even
with a name in that scheme, such as mod_authz_hostlimit or something
like that.
I'd say that's stretching a point. But since I don't think I can
suggest an existing category into which it fits: the nearest functions
to it are in core!
Something like modules/traffic/ would kind-of describe it, but as of
now it would seem lonely there. I wonder if there's a case for
modules/misc/ ?
Speaking of a /traffic/ directory....
Would people be interested in a module which rate limited bandwidth
using an output filter?
For example, you could "SetEnv RATELIMIT 100kb/s" in a <Location
block... and it would rate limit all HTTP response bodies to that speed...
One might just magically appear if people would like it....
