i'be been thinking of a similar idea to limit the connections from an ip...

could get the ftpd to write the ip on login to a file similar to writing the 
pid file. then could search the file for the number of instances of the 
connecting ip and if that is over a certian number deny the login....

also when the client loggs out would have to remove one instance of that 
address....

what do you think...
