Thank you for all the responses.
For the quota options, I saw it but redhat 4 is using an older version
of iptables that why I ask here, just to have inputs from specialists.
Thanks again !

Hello,
I have a common problem but cannot find a solution.
My setup :
all servers are Redhat Enterprise 4
CISCO PIX in front on a HTTP load Balancer/failover (called a
director in the L.V.S. jargon) that sends requests to 4 web servers
(cluster setup based on Linux Virtual Server include in redhat
cluster suite).
Now my prob :-)
From time to time users download our site and block all http
connexion, and worst, use all our bandwidth. So I have to block (or
redirect) those network abusers after a download limit (for ex : 1Gb
per day) for lets say 1day.
Because of the director, I cannot use the apache2 mod_cband.
My first though is to look at the iptables on the director but I
cannot find any information about that kind of setup.
Do you know if it is possible using build in linux tools(iptables ?).
If not, do you know some hardware appliance that could do that ?
Thanks !
