Hi, is there a way to limit the number of concurent requests per resource (eg. maximum 3 requests / backend, others waiting on frontend)? ---

You can use limit req module: [GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com · GitHub](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLimitReqModule) .

I think what Calin want is limit the concurrent request number to URI not from remote ip I don’t know whether " limit\_req\_zone $uri zone=one:10m rate=1r/s; " can achieve this. 2011/10/13 Simon L. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---
