Maybe you can monitor the CGI's with mod_perl and setting pam/system limits to apache user.

Any suggestions on configuration changes I can make to lessen the impact of CGI scripts which become CPU hogs? I'm running an apache server with about 150 virtual servers. Ocassionally an errant script will go nuts and consume 100% of the CPU. It's really bad when a spider finds one of these poorly written scripts and calls it a few thousand times. I'm monitoring the server and killing off processes that run too long, that catches most issues before they impact performance too badly, but not when a spider is behind the requests.. Any other suggestions? Can consistent connections be throttled on a per client IP address basis? Can server processes be controlled on a per virtual server basis?
