Info, Are you looking to slow squid down to a grinding halt?? ACLs are in memory for a very good reason, and forcing Squid to go to Disk I/O for every access would give you ... less than desirable results, rest assured. Just tell squid to re-read the config file each time you update it! It's not difficult ... either: kill -HUP /var/run/squid.pid or whereever you hide your squid pid. or run: squid -k reconfigure (which does the same thing ...) http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-3.html#ss3.7 ;-) J. > -----Original Message----- > From: AnchorFree Info [mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:23 AM > To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: ACL Rules in memory > > Hi, > > Does squid load acl rules in memory?
