limit client connection
Hi guys,
Is it possible using irule to limit number of connections from each client ip address?
If yes, pls. give me some samples how to do it. Thanks!

I think the problem with your iRule is that after doing the "reject" command, the CLIENT_CLOSED event is still evaluated. So, the active_client count is decremented even though it wasn't incremented by this connection. So, you should move the "incr ::active_client($client_ip)" line to before the check for > 5. That way the current connection will be counted and then decremented after being reset.
