There is no direct relation between how many windows the user have open and how many connections his browser have to the proxy. If you disable the use of client-side persistent connections then there is a relatively close match in how many concurrent objects a users browser is downloading and the number of connections there is to the proxy, but there still is no relation to the number of windows. It may simply be a single page with a lot of inlined objects, large framesets or whatever. > The idea is to prevent (restrict) users keeping open several instances of > say IE and preloading several windows while reading another, since this is > taking bandwidth. See delay pools. Very effective if your concern is bandwidth usage. Regards Henrik
