Limit Downloading + X_forwarded_for option in squid
Dear All

I m using squid 2.7 Stable 9 and Dansguardian 2.10.1.1, i have compiled both squid and dansguardian, i want use follow_x_forwarded_for in squid make clients IPs visible to squid, but this option is not working correctly, i have also set x_forwarded_for=on in dansguardian and my squid configurations for x_forwarded_for are as under
acl my_other_proxy srcdomain 172.29.13.211
follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost
follow_x_forwarded_for allow my_other_proxy

the IP 172.29.13.211 is the ip which i set in dansguardian configuration file as proxy ip

Please also help if there is any option in dansguardian to put a limit on downloadable files suppose each user can download upto 10 MB if the file is bigger than 10 MB it will be denied.
also help me if there is any other technique in RedHat Linux to control bandwidth etc.

Thanks in advance

squid_session(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  squid_session(8)

NAME

       squid_session - Squid session tracking external acl group helper

SYNOPSIS

       squid_session [-t idle_timeout] [-b dbpath] [-a]

DESCRIPTION

       This helper maintains a concept of sessions by monitoring requests and timing out sessions if no requests have been seen for the idle time-
       out timer.

       Intended use is for displaying "terms of use" pages, ad popups etc.

       -t idletimeout (default 3600)
	      Specifies the session idle timeout timer.

       -b dbpath
	      Path to persistent database. If not specified the session details will be kept in memory only and all sessions will reset each  time
	      Squid restarts it's helpers (Squid restart or rotation of logs).

       -a     Active mode. In this mode sessions are started by evaluating an acl with the argument LOGIN, or terminated by the argument LOGOUT.

       Without this flag the helper automatically starts the session after the first request.

EXAMPLE

       Configuration example using the default automatic mode

	      external_acl_type session ttl=300 negative_ttl=0 children=1 concurrency=200 %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_session

	      acl session external session

	      http_access deny !session

	      deny_info http://your.server/bannerpage?url=%s session

       Then  set  up http://your.server/bannerpage to display a session startup page and then redirect the user back to the requested URL given in
       the url query parameter.
