Limiting number of connections to web server

[danny_villela]

Our web server sits behind a PIX515e and we are trying to set a maximum amount of connections per ip that can connect to the web server. What is the best way to go about doing this?

I'd suggest you add the pix max_conns option for the static statement of the web server.

For an example. Limiting the number of 20 simultanous connections and 40 embryonic use

static (dmz, outside) 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 20 40

access-list outside permit tcp any host 1.1.1.1 eq 80
