limiting outgoing connections

[Linux Query]

Hi All!

I want to limit each clients outgoing connections.
Will the following be ok ?

iptables -A FORWARD -i $internal_interface -s $ip -m
limit --limit 10/s -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD  -i $internal_interface -s $ip -j
DROP

What is a good limit figure ?

regards to all,
jim
