What is the best way to limit concurrent connections per IP to, say, 20?

I'm having some problems with "connection storms" caused by bots harvesting websites.


mod_limitipconn.c  ?

http://dominia.org/djao/limitipconn2.html

Never tried it, but looks like it should work.

Or, just use iptables?

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 20 -j REJECT


Anyone had experiences with that?
What number of connections should I allow not to cut off legitimate users? 20? 30?
