Sorry for any confusion... I responded to Jack's original question about how to set a page that says, "maximum number of connections at this time: come back again later" or something like that. Peter points out the alreay existing page that says "maximum login" (MAXLOGIN.htm) This is helpful, but is it what Jack was originally looking for? I didn't understand him to mean that he limited the number of logins to the server, but only the number of people accessing the server at one time. Is it not possible to have a setting that somehow indicates to the server that when a certain capacity is reached, display "lastpage.html" ( when server_traffic=max-1 then go to getlost.html) ... just thinking out loud.

On one hand you want to limit the traffic to 25 simultaneous connections. I assume this is to ensure that those 25 connections are being handled prompltly. On the other hand you want to open new connections above your 25 max in order to tell people to come back later. So the question is, which is it? Do you want a Max of 25 connections or not. If the max is reached, the server does not create one, if it does not create one it cant send a message to the visitor. If you are going to make a connection to send a too busy to talk message, why not send them the page they came for in the first place?
