Should be fairly easy to do by reversing the rules we use to deny various
lists of sites.
....
acl deny_essays dstdomain "c:/squid/etc/deny/essays.txt"
http_access deny deny_essays
http_access deny all
....
ie, change the 2nd line to an allow, then place the acceptable domains in
the text file such as:
.gradesaver.com
.classicnote.com
.123helpme.com
.4essays.com
.4freeessays.com
.4termpapers.com
This should work, but test it of course, as I might be missing something.
We have about a dozen of these rules, except for denials, and some of
the lists are quite long (>270,000 lines in one case).
