I'm looking at a few approaches;
   having Squid kick off the DNS test earlier on in the processing. So
that the data may be available later as needed, but not hold up the
processing.

  Getting rid of the magic entirely by pre-filtering the outgoingAddr
ACL address against the dst IP type.

   making tcp_outgoing_addr a slow ACL type. that gets us around the
open bug and all the other custom ACL tests people keep trying to use there.
