  Yes, use the maxconn ACL type in conjunction with http_access deny.
  For example:

  acl losers src 1.2.3.0/24
  acl 5CONN maxconn 5
  http_access deny 5CONN losers

  Given the above configuration, when a client whose source IP address
  is in the 1.2.3.0/24 subnet tries to establish 6 or more connections
  at once, Squid returns an error page. Unless you use the deny_info
  feature, the error message will just say ``access denied.''

  Note, the maxconn ACL type is kind of tricky because it uses less-than
  comparison. The ACL is a match when the number of established
  connections is greater than the value you specify. Because of that,
  you don't want to use the maxconn ACL with http_access allow.

  Also note that you could use maxconn in conjunction with a user type
  (ident, proxy_auth), rather than an IP address type.
