Andre, We have a vast user population thats geographically dispersed, so implementing something thru the system would be the favourable approach.. Can you point me to links on the web that explain the add on modules and their implementation? All,

For something at the apache httpd front-end level, maybe start with a Google search for "apache mod_cband".

I am suggesting this because you were mentioning mod_jk, implying that you have an Apache httpd front-end. I believe that if you want to limit this kind of thing, it is better to do it as early as possible when a request comes in, rather than waiting until an Apache/Tomcat connection is already established, and a Tomcat thread if already dedicated to processing this request (if only to reject it later).

At the Apache level, instead of using something like

JkMount /myApp ajp13
JkMount /myApp/* ajp13

to select which requests will be forwarded by Apache, via mod_jk, to Tomcat, you can use the alternative setup explained at the very end of this page :
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html

I find that this provides a clearer way to combine Apache configuration directives with the mod_jk proxying instructions.
