Je ne sais pas, mais voici une idée :

You can limit the amount of bandwidth per connection, easily.
I think you'd have to use the Perl hooks to write some code for
tracking multiple connections per IP. Trying to do a bytes/day
cap would be tricky in nnrpd itself.

A better solution may be to run INN on a separate port for your
newsfeeds to talk to, and use a separate tool like xinetd to
listen for client connections and launch nnrpd; I'm not sure
exactly what sort of limits xinetd supports, but probably the way
to go about this is to find a solution like xinetd that's
independent of any particular server software. I don't know
where to best send you to find out about that, though.
