Re: Is it possible to make a rule for maximum connetions?

[Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>]

You have the ability to alert on if a number of connections in a time period exceeds a certain number, but no, you 
can't limit the maximum number of connections to a webserver.  Probably something you want to control through the 
webserver itself.
