- Element <literal>connect-max</literal> is an optional element. The
- text content is treated as an integer that specifies maximum number
- of TCP sessions from the same original IP. The special value 0 means
- : no connection limit. This is also the default if this element is omitted.
+ Element <literal>connect-max</literal> is an optional repeatable element.
+ The text content is treated as an integer that specifies maximum number
+ of accepted TCP sessions from the same original IP. A value of 0
+ means unlimited (no limit). The attribute <literal>ip</literal>
+ specifies an IP-pattern to match. If the IP pattern is matched, the
+ limit takes effect. By repeating this element with different IP
+ patterns, limits may be configured "per-IP". If no patterns are
+ matched, no limit takes place. The IP pattern is a glob pattern.
+ Blanks in a pattern may be used to provide alternatives.
+ For example:
+ <literal>ip="::1 127*"</literal> would match <literal>::1</literal> or
+ <literal>127.0.0.1</literal> , but not <literal>128.0.0.1</literal>.

+ The text content is treated as an integer that specifies maximum number
