<p>Well, forgive me for bad mouthing the developers here, but I
think this is a good reason.<br>
<br>
You see, you are going to have to eliminate all the redundant
subdomains in your blacklists, because they are going to crash
modern versions of squid. And to do this I would recommend using
an older version of Squid for your blacklist validation purposes,
because, a few years ago, The developers decided it was a good
idea to stop throwing errors in the logs when there is a duplicate
entry in the blacklists, you know, the way squid used to be, I
have no idea who is smoking hashish over there and making these
idiotic decisions, because clearly, it would be better to actually
have something in your error log indicating where the problem is,
rather than just having squid shit on itself and have zero
indication of how or why it happened, but again, the hashish must
be cheap because the latest versions of squid will do just that,
shit on themselves and give you zero indication of why or where
the problems in your acl lists are.<br>
<br>
And yes Squid Native ACL Blacklisting does work, but we are also,
unlike the competitors, actually removing dead domains daily, to
minimize wasteful bulk, in other words, we are actually doing our
job rather than just boasting about line counts with 50% dead
domains that really should be removed to make the list size the
most efficient.<br>
<br>
We also offer the lists in other various formats to ensure maximum
compatibility.<br>
I would love to share thoughts with you regarding the matter.<br>

<div>What I am trying to do is to simplify everything and remove
the external re-writers from the workflow due to the fact that
they are either old with sporadic development or wrap their
own lists into the solution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am also producing my own ACL lists for this project so
third party blacklists will not work for me. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Squid has a lot more smarts and is very active in
development so I think it would be a more complete robust
solution if I can get a handle on how it behaves when parsing
large ACL files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My ACL's will be stored on a Ram based drive so speed there
should not be an issue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking at the config samples at squidblackist.org, you
seem to pump massive ACL lists through the dstdomain acl so
maybe that is anecdotal evidence that this will work OK.</div>

<div>I have been tinkering with Squidguard for a while,
using it to manage ACL lists and time limits etc.</div>
<div><br>

<div>While it works OK, it's not in active development and
has it's issues.</div>

<div>What are the limitations with just pumping ACL lists
directly into Squid and letting it do all the work
internally without running a team of squidguards?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>how efficient is squid now at parsing the text files
directly, will i Need more ram as the list grows? Is it
slower or are their optimizations that I can do?</div>
