Squirm is a fast & configurable redirector for the Squid.
Squirm has the following features:
-Very, very fast
-Virtually no memory usage
-It can re-read it's config files while running by sending it a HUP signal
-Interactive test mode for checking new configs
-Full regular expression matching and replacement
-Config files for patterns and IP addresses.
-If you mess up the config file, Squirm runs in Dodo Mode so your squid
keeps working :-)
It has been written because the existing redirector scripts used too much
memory and all were too slow for Squids that receive a lot of requests.
It can handle nifty things like file mirrors with the regex pattern replacement
strings, and do site blocking - useful for schools. It could also do such
things as banner add rewriting, and just about anything else :-)
