Hello!
How to limit number of connections from a client to websever? I want every client only to have 2 connections to server at the same time. If having number of connections is greater than 2 forbit that client access about 15 mins.

Please, help me. Sorry about my english

Apache httpd? Two clients from the same IP, like with downloading tools?

MaxClients only deals with total clients, I don't know of one that limits per IP, for example.

What if it's a shared Internet connection, for example at a public library? Do you really want to make it so that only one person from that building would be able to access your site at once?
