I see the problem.
You want to allow *.ac.uk, but the problem is squidGuard doesn't
pattern-match from the RHS.
That is... adding ac.uk to your approved list will approve
www.ac.uk
www1.ac.uk
ac.uk
but not www.something.ac.uk
something.ac.uk
etc.
My trick would be to not even use squidguard for the .ac.uk sites.
Rather have something like this in your squid.conf. I was going to do
the same for *.nz, because for us national traffic is charged at 1/10
the rate of international traffic.
acl acuksites dstdom_regex .*ac.uk
http_access allow acuksites
redirector_access deny acuksites
Thankee to plaz for the idea in the first place.
