<direct reply originally - sorry>
Your original query was when a user connected to an Apache server. It was 
never made clear if this Apache server belonged to you or if it was just a 
random Apache server out there... It now seems that it's 'your' Apache server 
and you wish to restrict sessions to a certain amount of data allowed to be 
transferred before the session is forcibly ended?

It seems a very odd request. What's to stop someone simply opening another 
browser session? Or to run two browsers? I don't think what you're trying to 
do is:
a) possible
b) providing any security benefit whatsoever

(and probably in reverse order)
