No plans to support enforcing at proxy level. One problem here is that there

enough.
With or without a load balancer in front of the proxies, it's still very
manageable. Even without a load balancer, if you have say
proxy_mail_max_userip_connections=n and m proxies, the maximum number of
connections that can hit the backend at any time for an user is n*m.
Would this help me to better manage the resources? Think it would.
Is there a business case for the feature? For us it is, we're
periodically getting hammered by iOS devices that try to open 300+
simultaneous IMAP connections for a single user from the same IP, while
the average hovers usually below 50 for the busier mailboxes with many
folders.
