You can limit the size using the reply_body_max_size config option. I
*think* that that is in 2.3. You cannot vary that by user/time/ip in any
production-ready version of squid.

2.5 has a more comprehensive version of this feature, but 2.5 is not production ready.

I really advise *against* using squid 2.5 in production until it it's pre-release status as opposed to development status.
