Limit number of HTTP connections from a single source in IIS7?

Question

Hello,

Is there a way in IIS7 to limit the number of HTTP connections allowed from a single source? We occasionaly get mild denial of service attacks that we could prevent with some limitations on the number of connections allowed from any single IP. I understand this could impact some legitimate requests, but we'd set the threshold fairly high.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Under properties for the website in IIS click on Performance and select the number of connections limited to.

Ah! I think I found it. This http://blogs.iis.net/ruslany/archive/2009/02/16/dynamic-ip-restrictions-for-iis-7-0-beta.aspx is what I'm looking for.

Thanks all.
