Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I am sure many of you have dealt with this problem at one time or another. I am working with openlayers together with Mapserver CGI (caching with tilecache). I am configuring a public site and I was wondering about the serious security issues dealing with mapserver instances. I am assuming that if too many users try to reach my website to view one of my maps concurrently, or even if a malicious user finds the way too make too many mapserver requests, my Apache server may eventually collapse. Is there a way to limit the number of mapserver child threads created by my server without disturbing in the overall server performance? Is there a way to bound the maximum number of mapserver instances my server can handle? Or even more, is there a way to deny service to users which overload the system? Any help within this topic will be more than welcome. Thanks in advance, Manu maymer...@argongra.es labs.argongra.com
