Is it possible to put limits on the max number of requests a service can
take. In linux you could do this through the inetd.conf like this:
service stream type wait/nowait 16 command options
The 16 is the important thing. It would tell inetd that if it received
more than 16 requests in a minute it would shut down that service (so a
Denial of Service attack on the machine would fail). Any help you can
give to me on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
