Hi everybody,
I have the following config :
Linux  : RedHat 8.0
Squid : 2.5STABLE1
The above system is working as a proxy server for all the local LAN clients.
The problem :

My ISP is allowing the total download say 1GB per month. If the download is
exceded that limit they are charging extra money for that.

My Question :

Is there a way so that I can restrict the client to say
10 Mb for 1 group
50 Mb for another group
and so on..
I want this restriction on IP basis( e.g. say for 192.168.50.1 to
192.168.50.50 should be allowed to download 10Mb and after that they should
get the message ...something like ..."your download limit is over for the
current month" or simply they should not be allowed to download anything
beyond that limit, the same is true for other clients also and for
192.168.50.55 to 192.168.50.90 permissible limit should be 50Mb)

I have looked into the "Delay pool" option of Squid but that will be
applicable to all the users.(Since there are some executives for whom I have
to allow unlimited download, I know that they are not downloading much, and
just surfing the net for 1-2 hours etc.)

Please guide me to the right pointers.
