Re: limit user per ip in mod_dav

Just so you know, if you put limits like that on a WebDAV server, it  
won't work with Mac OS X's WebDAV file system which handles multiple  
concurrent requests from multiple file system clients (where a client  
is some process thread). We tried queuing requests on the client and  
handling them one at a time, but that made the file system very non- 
responsive when a request that should be relatively fast (i.e. a  
PROPFIND with a depth of 0) got queued up behind a request that could  
take minutes or hours (i.e. a GET on a large resource).

In the current implementation, the Mac OS X WebDAV file system will  
have at most 5 connections open with the server and will queue file  
system client requests when all of those connections are in use.
