Dynamic filtering with dansguardian

Hi everybody!
Sorry for my intrusion but I'd like to submit a problem which is driving me crazy!
To implement the application I'm working on I must set an application layer firewall,
consequently I've installed and configured on my machine Squid + Dansguardian vs 2.8
(I'm using Debianrelease 2.6.18 amd 64).
As further setting I enabled the mode "Blanked Block" on file "bannedsitelist" so that
only the connections whose url are in the file "exceptionsitelist" are allowed, while for the
other connections the message "Access Denied" is displayed.
My work is focused on writing a module for bypassing the message "Access Denied" by asking to the
user when receives the message if he wants to continue anyway. In case of agreeing the file
"exceptionsitelist" will be updated by including the new url.

Now, my problem is following: any time I write an istruction on the file exceptionsitelist,
I must restart dansguardian in order to apply the new instruction.
Is this tricky or normal? There is any way to run this new instruction without closing and restart
dansguardian?

I'd like to thank anyone could help me, please

Bye

Rossella
