dear list,

im about to investigate squids features in order to implement a mixture
of bandwithlimit in combination with a hard download limit assigned to
acls. this came up since apaches mod_throttle didn't work that pretty as
it could have (for sure, i wasn't smart enough to get it that way).

what i want is users consuming a defined bandwith as long as they are
below their download volume. crossing that border (any given volume, say
5 gb) should give them a deny_info. well, delay pools working hand in
hand with regex acls determining file extensions will do fine for the
bandwith part. as delay pools can be assigned to any acl it should work
in some way for authenticated users.

my question is about the hard volume limit. there were some postings in
the past, but i did not find any solution so far. does anyone of you
know a helper or patch that does the trick?

thanks in advance for any idea.

regards

sebastian

found something matching for the hardlimit myself: squid2mysql
(http://evc.fromru.com/squid2mysql/). install runs not smooth, but it
seems to fit.
