If this is for IP based virtual hosting, you can limit bandwidth by IP. Why not just advertise a maximum transfer limit, run a monthly log analyzer that analyzes pertinent transfer logs, and bill users for overusage? If you have problem users/sites that are generating WAY too much traffic for your CONNECTION to handle, you need to adjust your policies so you can prohibit gratuitous use of bandwidth by cancelling contracts. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
