RE: What is the MAXIMUM number of ACLs we can define

When I get the chance I'm going to see about improving the code to include hash tabling url_regex's which is what I'm primarily using. Presently the search appears linear, and it's needing a very very fast cpu to produce sufficient through put.

I can't guarantee this, but I think that acls are only evaluated when
needed, so I assume that you could pre-filter with just site names,
if these represent special cases. If they don't represent special
cases but they are spread over many sites, it might be worth grouping
sites and pre-checking against the group of sites. This assumes an
efficient search for domain names.
