Limit the number of connections your board will allow from the same IP. I think I have mine set to like 2 if I remember correctly, and only THAT high so that I can be logged into my sysop account and my test account at the some time when making changes remotely.

If you are supporting HTTP(S), you should allow 6-10 connections as browsers make multiple connections to download supporting files in parallel (js, css, images etc).
