Hello everybody,
I'm using squid in forward proxy mode with squidguard for managing
blacklists. Squid use the url_rewrite_program directive to let the
squidguard processes manage the access to the requested URL.
From what I can see, to mimic the same behaviour in ATS, I've got two
options :
- Using a simple helper script to translate the squidguard database into
a remap.conf compatible format
- use the blacklist plugin
Do you have any feedback about any of those solutions ? I'm talking of
thousands of blacklisted URLs and about 500 requests/s, and I've got no
idea if the first solution will not put ATS on its knee ?
The blacklist plugin seems to simple to me : hardcoded number of site in
the source, simple linear scanning to find if the provided URL should be
rejected or not...
If anyone could provide some feedback about their use of ATS as a
forward proxy and how they manage the management of blacklists, it would
be cool =)
Regards,
Jean-Baptiste
