module 'limit' from iptable
man iptable
[ skip ]
limit
This module matches at a limited rate using a token bucket
filter. A rule using this extension will match until this
limit is reached (unless the !' flag is used). It can be
used in combination with the LOG target to give limited
logging, for example.
--limit rate
Maximum average matching rate: specified as a num-
ber, with an optional /second', /minute',
/hour', or /day' suffix; the default is 3/hour.
--limit-burst number
Maximum initial number of packets to match: this
number gets recharged by one every time the limit
specified above is not reached, up to this number;
the default is 5.

or use xinetd super-daemon
