Anyone have an idea what is the best way to
throttle bandwidth usage by Apache virtual
servers running on top of RedHat 6.1?
Or would it be better to handle this with the
router? Thanks.

you can try mod_throttle or mod_bandwidth
if your server isn't terribly busy. if it is busy,
these modules are not effective because they
introduce delays into http requests to limit
bandwidth, and these delays will cause more
and more httpd servers to be spawned,
eventually reaching your MaxServers limit.

Really? That's not how I understood mod_bandwidth worked. We're using
it on a "busy" server (maybe 20-30 concurrent requests at any time)
and the httpd spawning isn't much at all.

Why would delays cause more servers to spawn?

IMHO mod_bandwidth would keep httpd process in memory
for the longer time per hit. So more running processes.
Maybe it would be more obvious with proxy frontend.
And when I last time tested mod_bandwidth it
worked well for lower bandwidth numbers but not for higher.
