There is multiple approaches. See delay_pools, acl max_user_ip, acl browser, http_access and deny_info directives. Your first task is figuring out how these can be identified. Some access.log data with log_mime_hdrs enabled is a very good start (keep this private to yourself as the data may contain users private passwords etc). Regards Henrik
