title: Flood protection for Jetty server?
body: <p>I'm looking for a solution to prevent a Jetty server to be taken down by a DDoS or similar. Currently the servlets will open a new thread for each incomming connections, so 1 mio incomming connections will open 1 mio threads and Jetty will explode.</p>
  
  <p>What's the best way to avoid this thread?  I thought about putting an Apache between client and server, since the webserver has the abilities to limit incomming connections from one ip to e.g. 5 connections/second.</p>
  
  <p>What do you think about my idea?</p>
  
  <p>Kind Regards,</p>
  
  <p>Hendrik</p>
