Therefore, iptables could be an option on the source machine, but on the target it wouldn´t. Nor ipfw would be on both.
Right, but you could also have firewall rules on the proxy server, too.
Therefore, the proxy (or whatever it will be) needs to accept N connections per second, and dispatch them at a maximum rate of 10 conn/sec, enqueing the exceeding ones until they can be dispatched, possibly using a FIFO policy.
That is a conundrum. I guess you could always write your own application-specific proxy for this sort of thing.
