Max connections per host

It's already possible to limit global max connections, but a single misconfigured PC can take all of them and prevent other machines to create new ones. I don't know exactly how the system works but I wonder if it's possible to limit it per host?

Yep, always wanted something like that.
An infected client's thousands of connections can often bring the router to a halt..

You may have to do this via iptables - command line
And yea, really depends on the router.
WRT54G's - I can crush them with around 1500 connections.
You won't even hit the 4096 connections on the WRT54's
before you bring the router to a crawl.
