Hi Everyone ! Currently, I am implementing a mechanism to restrict the number of parallel connections to the server from a single client/user.
The mechanis is something like : - Use Cache::FastMmap to share the data between multiple processes. - PerlAccessHandler will get the key for cache to get the current count of alive connections. The key could be some URL parameter, cookie or IP. It increments the count by 1 and stores the result back into the cache. Deny the connection if count exceeds the maximum limit. -PerlCleanuphandler decrements the count. I am interested in knowing if I am missing some obvious point here. This mechanism is working nicely. Are there any better alternatives available without any overhead of chache/locking etc. Thanks, Pratik -- http://pratik.syslock.org
