Not sure if this has been discussed before. I have recently changed from Access to MySQL and found out the hard way that the host has a maximum number of connections before the database connection bombs out.
It's set at 100
Today the site has been bombing out because of spam bots.
So, is there any MOD existing or could be changed that will allow only 1 or 2 connections from the same IP address ? |

The connection to the MySQL database is always made from your webserver, so I don't see what this mod would accomplish.
If I were you, I would either upgrade the hosting plan or get a decent host that wouldn't make restrictions on the number of connections you can have to a free database management system. |
