[sllug-members]: Poor Server Owner

[Michael Heath]

You can not effectively limit traffic by Domain Name. For services, the
domain name means very little - infact, the only common service where it
means anything at all is HTTP. You can probably do some kind of bandwidth
limiting by domain in Apache HTTPD, but that doesn't control anything else
on the server.

You need individual public IP addresses.
