> Currently zookeeper have the feature of limiting the maximum number of
> connection/client per IP or Host (maxClientCnxns).
> But to safe guard zookeeper server from DoS attack due to many clients from
> different IPs, it is better to have a limit of total number of
> connections/clients to a a single member of the ZooKeeper ensemble as well.
> So the idea is to introduce a new configuration to limit the maximum number
> of total connections/clients.
> Please share your thoughts.
