Configuration Details:

Option Name: client_ip_max_connections
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value: No limit.
Suggested Config:
Set an absolute limit on the number of connections a single client IP can use. Any more than this and Squid will begin to drop new connections from the client until it closes some links. Note that this is a global limit. It affects all HTTP, HTCP, and FTP connections from the client. For finer control use the ACL access controls. Requires client_db to be enabled (the default). WARNING: This may noticeably slow down traffic received via external proxies or NAT devices and cause them to rebound error messages back to their clients.
