NAME
     inetd - internet ``super-server''

SYNOPSIS
     inetd [-d] [-R rate] [configuration file]

....

    -R rate
             Specify the maximum number of times a service can be
invoked in
             one minute; the default is 256.

isnt this a feature of inetd?

ie, it stops answering request's for a service when the maximum
number has been reached?

did you wait ~10 minutes to try reconnect? or does inetd/box
actually need to be restarted?
