This indicates an incorrect setup. Limiting squid's connections to clients won't have the expected effect, the connections are handled asynchronously. >Possible? Now, combining WRR and Squid is another topic. It is possible, but difficult. On the WRR website, there is a program called "proxyremap" that should solve this in userspace. I never tried it, but it is supposed to work. The other option is to use squid with tproxy patch. This requires a rearrangement of the network setup though (tproxy and NAT don't work on the same machine, and because tproxy mangles IP but not MAC, you have to put it on a separate segment or use it as a next hop or a bridge, or use other tricks, such as arptables' MAC mangling). I only tried the last one (tproxy + mac mangling), for about 10 days, on a network with about 60 local computers, and it was a horrible hack, but worked. The reason that I only used it for such a short time wasn't that there were problems, I just wanted to test it with Route Hat in case some customers request it. Unfortunately, TPROXY mailing list mentions a couple of times that rewriting TPROXY so that it works with NAT isn't easy, so for foreseeable future we're stuck with the above "solutions" (well, most of them are workarounds). Other than that, you can play with squid's delay pools. Unless however you fine-tune the proxies priority (in my experience very difficult) you're still screwed.
