Apache maximum connections from one IP address. how?

[wfw]

hi,
i'd like to setup my apache 1.3.33 web server to limit the connections from a single ip address, because one user uses 20 connections to download a single ISO file....
any ideas?

i found this from the usenet:

http://dominia.org/djao/limitipconn.html or mod_throttle

if using iptables, what i can come up with is limit the number of new connection attempt per certain period (e.g. 5 new connection per minute) and that effectively "fool" the user into thinking that "oh, the server has noticed my activity... i should behave myself or get penalised......."

good luck

thanks, i'll try.
