Something I've always wanted to do but from what I can see is impossible in Apache is simply limit the number of connections a single IP can have open at once.

Is this possible with HAProxy? If it is, the documentation doesn't make it clear how.

Well its possible with nginx for sure, havent used apache in about 10 years now (first lighttpd then nginx) i think, after switching to nginx no going back.

Haproxy btw is fantastic too, useful for hiding real location of web server from attacks
