Ok, I have a site, and it serves all images and mp3s through a php script and can be controlled and limited, but I am now worried about overall bandwidth of my site. For example, what if someone just sends a million requests to one of my pages? Does anyone have any suggestions into server methods used to prevent this? Should I use mod_cband http://www.howtoforge.com/mod_cband_apache2_bandwidth_quota_throttling_p2?
