Thinking about this a little more, you could perhaps create a LogFormat string that dumped the hostname, bytes in and out to a logfile somewhere. This could then be parsed every 5 minutes or so by a cron job, stats tabulated and Apache configs adjusted accordingly. You could then perhaps have a RewriteRule and use a RewriteMap to match specific hostnames that need redirecting to the "bandwidth reached" page. When a host hits it's bandwidth limit then an entry is created in the map and that site gets redirected to the holding page. Just a vague idea, probably full of holes but it could be a step in the right direction. G. -- Being drunk is feeling sophisticated without being able to say it. http://www.playr.co.uk/
