[mdlug] OT: squid question

[Ron Blanchett]

Is it possible for you to post some (or all) of the ACL rules to the list.
If posting all of the rules is to big for inclusion in an email then
please put them in a zipped text doc.

I imagine (if not me) someone here will have an idea what your squid
ACL rules are doing.
