Hi there,

i already use limit_req location based with a long burst, so the connection doesnt get dropped. But if you have a pool of backends (proxy, fastcgi, ..), it would be useful to limit the requests per upstream server, to avoid building strange configurations with multiple locations or servers.

Thanks!

Im sorry, ignore that request.

limit_req_zone $upstream_addr zone=upstream:1m rate=1r/s;

did the job..
