Is there a standard way of dealing with users who are on high bandwidth connections who hit refresh (hold down F5 in IE for example) many times on a page that generates alot of database activity?
On a 10 meg connection, holding down F5 in IE for a few seconds generates around 300 requests and grinds our server to a halt. The app is written as a single mod_perl handler that maintains state with Apache::Session and cookies. content is generated from a backend mysql database. tnx!
