apache , MaxClients, and Dos


i have apache2x installed on my debian box, i have big files to serve for download, it happened that i found many connections of 2 or 3 clients (they could be proxies) but this causes fullness of maximum simulatanious connections and denial of service for new requests , i have set MaxClients directive to 256 , but i think that one user can open 256 connections to my box causing DoS.. so can i limit numbers of connections per client using apache
