We have configured SQUID proxy in Fedora Linux (FC5). We have IP address based restriction. How to restrict the number of users connected to Internet at a time? We have given internet conection through proxy to around 50 users. We would like to configure proxy in such a way that at a time only 30 users sholud be able to connect to proxy. How to configure this in SQUID proxy? Pl. help me, if any body used this control. Thanks in advance

If you need to limit the number of connections from a client PC use maxconn option.

Code:

acl restictourusers src 192.168.1.0/24
acl 3CONNONLY maxconn 3
http_access deny 3CONNONLY restictourusers

Any user in 192.168.1.0/24 subnet will make max 3 connection in a single session. So if 20 user connects to proxy at a time you will get only 20x3=60 connections. This is the only option available in Squid, AFAIK.
