1. Can (potentially) reloading squid (service squid3 reload or

Hey Eliyahu,
Reloading every 5 minutes is a very BAD idea.
It can cause slowdowns and other stuff to respond bad.
I remember your code in PHP?
Instead of writing ACLs into squid.conf and included files it will be
better to use an EXTERNAL_ACL that can be updated automaticly and do not
be needed to restart.
what kind of ACLs are you talking about exactly?
think in mind that you can write you own settings file\db and to work with.
if it's LDAP\mysql\RADUIS It can be done easily.
I have just worked on a framework of EXTERNAL_ACL that allows you high
concurrency and working with DB and what ever needed to check ACLS.
If you have more specific data on the ACLs I will be happy to look at it
and see if there is a simple way for my framework to give you what you need.
