[cups.bugs] CUPS server flooded...

[Michael R Sweet]

About the only thing we have is the MaxClientsPerHost directive; you  
can set it fairly low (4 or 5) without affecting normal usage.

Beyond that, the iptables hack is probably the best (and I've used it  
myself for other similar issues over the years...)
