Morning all, its here! Ive almost finished the new ban portal for our squid/squidGaurd hooked in with a MySQL database (just holding names) and outputting to a file which allows squid (on restart) to pick up the new list.

Most people who work with squid etc may ask “why not just run the squid bans off of MySQL”, I was originally thinking about this, but our MySQL on that server is spammed every few seconds with tons of updates (uber logging system for squid aswell) so if one goes down they all go down, but if apache / mysql dies then it still is able to be used
