[squid-users] Flooding squid

Hello!

        I have some trouble with new kind of flood targeted at proxy server.
One hosts creates thousands of new connections. Is there a way to
protect against that at squid level? I would like to avoid doing it with
netfilter, because it is hard to guess acceptable limit of connections
(browsers tend to open many of them when viewing one page with many
pictures, flash, java applets and so on).

It is snippet from access.log.
