It's easy to parse the squid.conf directives and save the settings in
a database. Let's assume that you are working from a good
configuration, i.e no syntax errors. If you want to change all the
settings and generate a new squid.conf file, it's non-trivial as it's
a multi-level configuration file. There are also some settings that
can occur more than once. The sequence dependent statements aren't
that difficult.
I suggest that you start by looking into how the directives and
settings will be stored in the database. Once you have done that, it
will be easier to write the parser.
