Looking for a bit of information............

I'd like to limit the number of incoming TCP connections to a range of
port numbers (8000-8999).  ("Limit port 8000 to 4 connections, 8001 to 10
connections, and 8002 to 13 connections" type of thing...)

With any luck, this capability is built into the 2.1.7 kernel, and I just
have to wave my magic wand and activate it.  If not........

.........  How??     Kernel modifications?  

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated...
