There is a browser acl type, that matches on the browser's user agent string. So assuming the UA string contained "SpamSpider", it would look like this: acl bad_user browser SpamSpider Got that from the Configuration Guide - it's from the 2.4 series, but it should work on 2.5. Check your default squid.conf to see if it's mentioned. You would then create a delay pool and add the bad_user acl to it - see the FAQ for info on delay pools. Adam
