I have a user account that runs a topsites style site. Because he is hotlinking two files (an image and a script) I often see 50+ httpd processes requesting these two files from outside sources.
For the most part this is not a major issue but every few days one of the sites that hotlinks sees a massive increase in traffic resulting in a massive increase in requests for these two files. When this happens everything gets backed up on the server and occasionally it crashes.
Is there any way for me to put limits on this one domain so it will not kill everything else?
