Server: Block suspiciously large number of connections from one client #2

getpeername to get the IP of the client
if the same IP is on different sockets, reject connection (DDoS attack)

getpeername() is disallowed, we need to use accept() info instead

Subject says nothing about this, would be too risky because we might start refusing connections even when we're not supposed to (e.g. during siege -b)
