You do not need to restart Squid. A "squid -k reconfigure" is sufficient and much less intrusive on the service. I am not aware of a acl helper doing exacly this, but it should not be hard to write one I suppose. But some thought may be needed in how to index "sites" into a relational databases if you by "sites" mean something more than only fully qualified host names..
