Funny, but Google gives me fairly good results.

Hi

I have a squid proxy server with a very large set of ACLs used to keep
our students safe from some of the madness that is the world wide web.

the ACLs are so large that it now takes quite a long time to load them
up and respond to a change. This is not normally a problem as we do that
overnight.

However, we want to be able to turn on and off sets of machines. That
is, a tutor may wish to prevent internet access to an entire room for
the duration of a lesson. While I lean toward the idea that this is more
a question of classroom management rather than a technology problem, we
are trying to provide the service.

It is too disruptive to re-write the source address ACLs and reload
squid. So, we have considered a couple of alternatives.

One is to use a second proxy with the sole and simple task of managing
source addresses and link them into a hierarchical proxy. Although
relatively easy to set up, this will mean another server that we would
rather not have to look after.

Alternatively, we are thinking of placing squid under the control of
xinetd and using the wrappers' hosts.allow and hosts.deny files to sort
out the problem.

Can anyone tell me if it is feasible to run squid under xinetd. It looks
like it should work but I am wary of messing as an error would cut off
everyone and cause major disruption.

Yes, this URL only provides how to connect to Network AFTER you install the
U870 driver. It does not tell us where to get this driver.

That is because the driver (airprime) is in the official Linux kernel.
