Feature request: 

It would be nice to have a mechanism that would limit a number of requests
per client per minute. For example, CUPS can wait a few seconds before
replying with a list of printers, if the client has already requested such
list a second ago. 

Currently, a few misbehaving clients polling CUPS for printers several
times per second can easily DOS a server. 

There should be no limit by default.
