This is only looking into the host component of the URL, right? If so then
this is much better (and simpler) implemented as an external acl.

If possible it would also be desireable if support for the Squid-3 helper
format was added allowing for multiple concurrent queries to the same
helper making this approach suitable even in high load conditions. But
this requires a non-blocking DNS lookup implementation..
