Fast and Slow ACLs


Some ACL types require information which may not be already available to Squid. Checking them requires suspending work on the current request, querying some external source, and resuming work when the needed information becomes available. This is for example the case for DNS, authenticators or external authorization scripts. ACLs can thus be divided in FAST ACLs, which do not require going to external sources to be fulfilled, and SLOW ACLs, which do.
Fast ACLs include (as of squid 3.1.0.7):
  • all (built-in)
  • src
  • dstdomain
  • dstdom_regex
  • myip
  • arp
  • src_as
  • peername
  • time
  • url_regex
  • urlpath_regex
  • port
  • myport
  • myportname
  • proto
  • method
  • http_status {R}
  • browser
  • referer_regex
  • snmp_community
  • maxconn
  • max_user_ip
  • req_mime_type
  • req_header
  • rep_mime_type {R}
  • user_cert
  • ca_cert
Slow ACLs include:
  • dst
  • dst_as
  • srcdomain
  • srcdom_regex
  • ident
  • ident_regex
  • proxy_auth
  • proxy_auth_regex
  • external
  • ext_user
  • ext_user_regex
This list may be incomplete or out-of-date. See your squid.conf.documented file for details. ACL types marked with {R} are reply ACLs, see the dedicated FAQ chapter.
Squid caches the results of ACL lookups whenever possible, thus slow ACLs will not always need to go to the external data-source.
Knowing the behaviour of an ACL type is relevant because not all ACL matching directives support all kinds of ACLs. Some check-points will not suspend the request: they allow (or deny) immediately. If a SLOW acl has to be checked, and the results of the check are not cached, the corresponding ACL result will be as if it didn't match. In other words, such ACL types are in general not reliable in all access check clauses.
The following are SLOW access clauses:
These are instead FAST access clauses:

Thus the safest course of action is to only use fast ACLs in fast access clauses, and any kind of ACL in slow access clauses.
