RE: [squid-users] Startup fails

It is a url_regex acl.and calls a file stored locally that is about 7mb.
How then do I use this list of banned sites to control access without
the use of url_regex?

Thanks for any and all replies..

\Bob

What does kind of ACL are you using to call this file? "url_regex" (or
indeed anything involving regex) would be very bad in this case.
