Yes, but my point remains - instead of being primarily memory limited
like Apache, lighttpd can easily scale to thousands of connections on
the same hardware. You likely wouldn't even need to bother limiting
connections by IP address.

It can definitely be a pain to migrate an Apache config to lighttpd,
but for sites like yours I think it can be worth it.
