I did not do that yet, but thanks for your suggestion. It didn't occur 
to me. I so far gathered 5 IPs and put them all in a single class. Then 
I set a limit on the maxmimum allowed connections for that class. That 
works fine. As long as the IPs won't change.

I don't think it does. At least adding it to ftpaccess has no effect.

Thank you,
