He only had that problem with one single user. Likewise, he can restrict bandwidth to google only for that one single user too. Like I already said, your proxy method can be easily circumvented using something like an SSL proxy after your proxy, whereas QoS can selectively keep a user from unfairly exceeding certain bandwidth. This will not only solve problems with the http protocol, but also problems with the user using too much bandwidth in general. -- Thilo Schulz
