Almost, What I was talking about and meant was to take the current official StoreID helper written in perl and remove the parts of the ID replacement while leaving the regex matching intact. Then pass to the StoreID helper the url and the source IP and let it match the url to the regex from the list in the "DB file". If it matches either return OK or ERR depends on the intention of the helper. ...The X code have almost everything needed so just convert it. I am offering to convert it if there is some interest in it.

Sigh. The combination of your answers does not make any sense to me. Squid does not use StoreID helpers to block access, regardless of what a StoreID helper returns. It is certainly possible to take some StoreID helper code and make an external_acl helper out of it, but that falls under my option #2. Perhaps what you meant to say is something like "Use StoreID helper X available at Y to implement option #2 -- that X code has everything you need!"?

In this specific use case it is to allow a Foreman server to sync Yum content from the CentOS mirrors.
