The switching from vhost to vhost is done after the beginning of the
HTTP transaction, apache needs the Host: www.foo.bar header to do that.
So it has already allocated a child to this http connection.
mod_throttle give you the ability to limit the bandwith but not the
number of processes.
The only solution is a different apache install and a different IP for a
specific vhost that could be problematic.
