I have nginx configured to server FCGI stuff (django). Can i configure  
it in a way that at most 4 requests are ever being processed by the  
FCGIs at one time?

Ideally it would be something like:

- 4 requests come in and make it to the FCGI processes
- 5th requests comes in and waits until one of the previous has  
finished and than passes it to FCGI
