Only take in mind next points: - Too many rules may slow your preformance, - Squid use short circuit, so it doesn't analyze hole rule if one ACL is false, take this in mind to place most probable ACL's first in your http_access line - if you are going to use authentication, dont place AUTH ACL in the way until you are going to use it, - IF you are going to use some kind of URL filtering such as url_rewrite or ICAP dont pass ALL content, only things that would be useful to filter traffic If you need more help, contact me offiine LD http://www.twitter.com/ldlq
