I want to run a web hosting, and I want to limit every virtual host  
bandwidth as a whole (No need limit\_conn\*limit\_rate), how?

If can’t, how to limit client connection and server connection number at  
the same time, like this:  
limit\_zone client\_conn $binary\_remote\_addr 10m;  
limit\_conn client\_conn 20;  
limit\_zone server\_conn $server\_name 10m;  
limit\_conn server\_conn 100;  
This is invalide in nginx config, how to make it work?
