samba - May 2001 - Limiting number of users to a samba share

Would a samba veteran point me to a solution to the following situation?

I have a WinNT network.  Created a share on the samba server and all the NT 
stations have access to the share.  Now I want to allow not more that 8 
workstations to access the share at the same time.  It is fine for any of 
the 50 workstations to access the share, but not more that 8 can open the 
share at any time.

Is there an easy solution?

Thanks for any and all help.
