[squid-users] Accessing allowed URLs from MySQL

I'm currently setting up a new Squid proxy server to replace an existing one.
The current proxy utilises an ACL which connects to a MySQL database and
extracts a number of allowed URLs from a table. The problem is, I'm having
trouble replicating this behaviour in the new proxy. The current squid.conf
file has a number of references to MySQL - including information regarding
the name of the database, the user and password etc but when I include these
statements in the new squid.conf file I receive a number of errors.
Obviously, I need to add MySQL support but I am unsure as to how to do this.
I've seen posts regarding a package called mysql_auth but I'm assuming it
won't allow me to pull URLs from a database to add into an ACL.
 
I've posted this before but it seems that no-one has a solution. I know it's
possible because an ex colleague of mine implemented it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
