[squid-users] Large text ACL lists

[Darren]

Hi

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.

I am also producing my own ACL lists for this project so third party blacklists will not work for me. 

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.

My ACL's will be stored on a Ram based drive so speed there should not be an issue.

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.

The other issue is that shalla and urlblacklist produce garbage blacklists, and neither of them are actively developing or improving the backend technology required to product high quality blacklists.
We are the leading publisher of blacklists tailored for Web Filtering Purposes.

We are also the only commercial source for Squid Native ACL. Yes, we have it.

Hi All

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

While it works OK, it's not in active development and has it's issues.

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?

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?

thanks all
