     I'm assuming you've already been to:

     http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_throttle/

     I haven't seen any other examples anywhere, although it might be worth
     checking out Apache Toolbox.  I was going to use mod_throttle for
outside
     connections to my SWAT/jnb server, but instead I went with Squid and
its
     delay_pools acl.  It works pretty much the same, but with Squid I can
do
     more in terms of managing traffic from my local network, too.
