[Varnish] #792: Bandwidth management / rate-limiting

[thebog]

Another, equally important, use for this is protecting against "attacks".

I remember once we had a proxy against our site that did prefetch
(yes, somebody has written such a bad boy, and yes, they are called
M$).
They used 100 Mbit/s filling thousands of articles that their cache
thought might get read again :)
