You can't do this within mapserver because each instance of mapserver is 
not aware that there are any other instances running. Presumably, you 
would have to look at Apache or IIS and see what controls there are to 
limit concurrent requests to a URL or something like that.

I more basic question in my mind is what do you want to happen if this 
limit is exceeded. What would you expect the user experience would be if 
you were to make a limit+1 request? would it get rejected, queued up 
until another request finished?

Anyway probably not a mapserver question other than to say mapserver 
does not do this.
