Configure Squid proxy to point to a central policy web server


Is there a way to configure Squid to get the filtering policy from a central policy on a web server.

like squid pointing to url http://xyz.com/central_policy.txt

Regards

Perhaps write a shell script that periodically checks if a new (and digitally signed, of course) version of the file is available on the remote site and then downloads it, populates squid.conf and restarts Squid? BTW, I'm moving this to Server for more adequate exposure.
