rsync - Feb 2010 - limiting the number of connections per client

Hello All,

We have a very high utilization rsync server. We can handle large
number of connections at a time, but would like to limit to one
connection per client. we don't want multiple connections from the
same client. Is that possible?

Thanks

With the help of xinetd.

Example:

ftp5:2 22:39:02 ~ # cat /etc/xinetd.d/rsync
# default: off
# description: rsync file transfer daemon
service rsync
{
         socket_type     = stream
         protocol        = tcp
         wait            = no
         user            = root
         server          = /usr/sbin/rsyncd
         instances       = 999
         per_source      = 19
         server_args     = --daemon
#       disable         = yes
}
ftp5:2 22:39:03 ~ #
