Hi,

we offer some downloads on our local server, which is much faster for most 
people in Uganda. As long as your ISP is connected to the UIXP.

I posted a link on the i-network list, and noted that it was for 'people in 
uganda'. So someone with a VSAT decided to download a file of 350 MB using a 
downloader. 

At a few occasions he had so many sessions open to our server, apache became 
irresponsive. ping, ssh, mail all was fine, but apache could not take it 
anymore.

I got 2 questions:

- Is there a setting in the apache2.conf with which you can limit the amount 
of seesions per IP? Wouldnt the default protected me from this behaviour?

- I now limited the download back to the subnet that the server is in. I would 
much more like to allow everyone in uganda to be able to download. How do i 
get a list of all Ugandan subnets in use that i can use in my .htaccess 
files?
