If you've a Linux based firewall in front of (on) your webserver see the
"Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO" 

#15.9 from its cookbook:  Rate limiting a single host or netmask

http://lartc.org/lartc.html#LARTC.RATELIMIT.SINGLE

Looks pretty straight forward to me...

There's also something called the "Wonder Shaper"
http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ that's vaguely useful if your running a
webserver at home w/ a asymmetric connection.
