No. After about 100-250 users on a server(depending on server os, config, etc), it tends to slow to a crawl. Most of the larger websites will have a web server farm where a load balancer will direct all requests to those servers.

There is not a way that I know of to limit just certain pages on a single server (could be done though and you may want to check to see if a module has been written to do so).. You could however set that page under a virtual server and then limit the number of connections to that particular server.

There is an option to configure how many and how frequently child process are spun off to service incoming connections. Mod_throttle might let you limit specific pages or directories, I've never used it before.
