The simplest way to achieve this would probably be the so called
"external ACLs". You would send the user name and the URL (if possible -
haven't tried that) to an external script. The script in turn would
decide whether this URL is acceptable for this user or not.

The script could be querying a database of text file and use regular
expressions and whatever magic you like. Sounds like a Perl job but the
implementation can probably be done in any decent (scripting) language.

A pure Squid solution would be to use a file for every user and use that
file as input for ACLs. But then you would need to hardwire all the
users in your squid.conf which is probably not desirable.
