Hi,

I came through quite a number of redirectors listed on the site:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Misc/redirectors.html

However was not able to decide which one of these suits my requirement.

I will be having a list of URLs which need to be blocked written in a file and specified in the squid configuration file.
Also on blocking of the URL, the User should be displayed a custom page.

Please guide.

Alternatively; use an ACL blacklist to match requests, the deny_info directive to do redirection to some URL when the blacklist ACL matches. And configure your http_access rules to use the ACL as appropriate.

A proper *redirector* can be just as effective and more efficient on managing the blacklist contents. Soem of them have flexible multi-type access controls as well. But you do need to be careful that they are doing a proper HTTP 30x redirection and not fakingit wit a url-rewrite. URL re-write introduces a lot of troubles and nasty side effetcs due to being a protocol violation.
