Limit Connections per IP using mod_limitipconn on cPanel

One of the problems I had on one of my cPanel servers was that some people were using download managers to download files from server , so hundreds of connections were being ESTABLISHED to Apache and it was becoming like a dos attack and causing Apache to become non responsive.
so here is what I did to limit connections per IP in a cPanel hosting server :
there is an Apache module named mod_limitipconn which will take care of it for us.
first download the latest version of mod_limitipconn from this site : http://dominia.org/djao/limitipconn2.html
decompress and install it.
at current time the latest version is 0.23.

wget http://dominia.org/djao/limit/mod_limitipconn-0.23.tar.bz2
tar jxvf mod_limitipconn-0.23.tar.bz2
cd mod_limitipconn-0.23
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -cia mod_limitipconn.c

next step is to add the required configuration to the Apache config file , we can add this directly to the end of httpd.conf file but the problem is that if we do this , the httpd.conf will be overwritten by easyapache so we will use include files to add our config.
login into your WHM panel , and follow the following menu items :
Main >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Include Editor
on the Post VirtualHost Include section , choose All Versions from drop down menu and add the following config into it :

<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>
<Location />
MaxConnPerIP 10
NoIPLimit images/*
</Location>
</IfModule>

then click on update and restart Apache server.
