So our aim is to improve squid reload!
perfect.
This is what I do want entirely.
The main issue is that static squid.conf cannot comply with the demand
to allow DB update on the fly.

If it would be possible squid will move forward to a very very good
point in the development.
The above is a good point in every software.

I will give you the given scenario:
Filtering solution(not sure 100% if it should be based on squid)
Human based filtering DB of pictures domains and pages
A very strict client that wants on the fly filtering(one client allow
first and block later the second is block first and allow later)
In this scenario we have rating of -128 and +128(int32)
the light filtering will be -51 which allow first and later disallow. 0
should block first and then allow after human or computer inspection

The above scenario is a real world scenario which my friend developed
and designed a proxy and other helpers to make our children world a
cleaner world.
I myself not really a fan of "kids shouldn't see" etc but I do
understand why people do want it and make big efforts to make it happen.

What do you think about the idea?
