I am also having problems with this, but found if you use acl porn_domains dstdomain "/usr/local/squid/blacklists/porn/domains" and add a period/full stop in front of the domain in the file, it will block that domain and any subdomains of it for example .google.com blocks Google.com www.google.com images.google.com groups.google.com fish-soup.google.com and so on. I believe this is as useful as dstdom_regex. But just using a 9 meg text file as you are, I have not managed to get squid running in a stable condition or even reconfiguring. My two questions are Why does squid's memory usage increase by nearly 320MB when the file is only 9MB? Which of the redirectors/plug-ins are best for managing large blacklists if this way just won't work on this scale?

The file is around 9 megs. What kind of acl are you using, and why that kind of acl? > aclParseRegexList: Invalid regular expression 'domain.tld': out of memory Looks to me you are esing regex based acls. why? Regards Henrik
