I want to limit access to certain resources base on following rules:

1. each ip can only access the resources 333 times a day (or within  
the last 24 hrs)

2. no more than X simultaneous connections and no more than Xr/s

Currently, nginx can handle rule 2 with the limit zone module.  
[http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpLimitZoneModule](http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpLimitZoneModule)

location /resource {  
limit\_conn gullag 1;  
limit\_req zone=qincheng burst=1;  
}

How do I go about rule 1? Thank you!
