[squid-users] restrict access by IP

Hi All

I was asked a question by a staff member the other day, which was : -

'can this room be denied from accessing the internet, when we ask? - i.e
when we have exams....'

I replied, 'YES', I can do it via Zenworks (Netware) and remove the icons to
netscape/ie (although if the user create a HTML file, they are instantly
taken to the application) :(

so I was wondring if I created an acl, which pointed to a file
"/etc/squid/acls/roomf7.dat"

i.e

acl roomf7deny -i "/etc/squid/acls/roomf7.dat"
http_access deny roomf7deny

which contained the ip addresses that I wanted to deny @ that time... i.e

192.168.3.55/255.255.255.255
192.168.3.56/255.255.255.255
and so forth

could I get squid to deny the IP's that are in that text file from getting
out onto the web? or does anyone know of a way that we can acomplish this?,
bear in mind that we dont have any authentication to the box, it's
configured to only allow connections from our Local LAN...

Regards
