There are a number of (unsatisfactory) ways of doing this. What _I_
would do (which is not necessarily what you or anyone else would do) is
to write a little program to watch the access log, and account usage as
it happens, and another program to act as a redirector. The redirector
communicates with the first program to query usage for the user, and
when it is exceeded redirects all requests to a rejection URL (which
would not itself be accounted)
