I've seen patch to squid somewhere. The trick is to encode original requester information into new request packets. It can go into "priority" field - it is 32bit and is userspace-settable.
In Squid 2.5 you have the possibility to set TOS field with acls.
This also works by calling setsockopt on the socket, changing it to SO_PRIORITY should take very little time ..

That sounds exactly like the solution I've been looking for for about 3 months!
Devik, could you possibly find out or give me a hint, where you've seen this patch? I am really interested in such a thing and I would be very grateful for everything someone knows about it.
I think you should start search at squid page .. but I really can't remember :(
I'm currently thinking about doing something like it but have no time ...
Unfortunataly I currently do not have the time to build it for myself as well. (I'm also sure that Devik would be way faster ;)
If someone is willing to spend $1000 I'll write it ;-)
I'll do it for a couple sixpacks of Ganther Bier (which releases enormous coding powers) ;)
If no one volunteers, maybe i'll also do it for free ...
Bye Patrick
