You can also limit multiple connections by using mod_limitipconn (Apache httpd, available at epel):

      <IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>

      </IfModule>

I dont think thats a good idea at all, you are effectively cutting out all the people who must run behing a proxy or a NAT setup ( most offices and small - medium business's are like that ).

As I said already, if there was something smarter that could also consider filepath in some way, that might be a better options - but then again that would not cover the situation where repomd.xml and the repodata/* files are requested by multiple clients.
