Squid supports HUP reloading, I've been doing it for years and on my systems it takes about 100ms to do a reload, so even if it blocks for that amount of time it's not a big deal. Unless the reload leaks memory or something, I don't think it's a problem. I have an action item to move my servers to external ACLs, but it's been one of those "if it ain't broke" type things, so I haven't done it yet.
