What I can think of is to have some sort of logwatcher (syslog-ng) coupled with swatch (?) and using it to feed into a program that can dynamically add the IP address into the IPtables FW mark. But seriously, What you're trying to do, to me, doesn't make much sense. If user A comes to your site, you give A 10kb/s (out of 50kb/s) If user B comes then, another 10kb/s is given. If you have 5 users concurrently then all the 50kb/s is used up. What happens when user #6 comes in then? U pump out 50kb/s? No such thing right? I think the general rule of _how_ much you want to feed out is more applicable for your needs. (correct me if I'm wrong of more info please). Say.. If you limit 50Kb/s for _all_ users, then it will be equally shared between _all_ users. -- Ow Mun Heng Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 on D600 1.4Ghz CPU kernel 2.6.7-2.jul1-interactive Neuromancer 09:40:50 up 34 min, 9 users, load average: 0.85, 1.19, 1.18 _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
