Throttle traffic in Apache based on User-Agent

We are running Apache (IBM HTTP Server 6.0.2.0) in front of WebSphere 6.0 on linux. We are getting excessive traffic from a specific User-Agent from varying IP addresses. We do not want to block the User-Agent or IP addresses, but would like to slow them down a bit.

Best scenario for us would be to use out of the box Apache config options to solve the problem.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

No native way, but mod_evasive might serve you well.
