Re: Throttle test Apache instance?

Our IT department has informed me of their intention to script 1000's of
requests to hit one of my test Apache instances.  My webservice depends on
a 3rd party service that would be a bottleneck, so I need to prevent too
many concurrent requests to the 3rd party.

Presently I have:
ThreadsPerChild  64
AcceptThreads  4

It sound like if I set those to 2, then only two concurrent requests can be
processed.  Am I understanding that properly?

Thanks
