There is a webserver/database construction behind the squid where I am not
root on and they have a too much load problem on their database. I provide
several proxies in front of their webserver and because they are not able
to restrict the amount of clients I thought to do that with squid but I
don't have feedback about the load of their crap.
Well its not a random denial of service setup, It is first come first
served for X clients for Y seconds each. Every client more than X will be
asked to try it again later.
An Idea how to do that? I tried already iptables to count the sessions but
I don't know how to implement this...

Thanks, b52
