I'd simplify it, rather than enhance it.
- we set a flag in a 'connection' acl variable - acl_c(x) to
zero at the beginning of 'connect' (perhaps superfluous, but safe.)
- depending on arrival port, protocol, whitelist lookup, or
any other test you choose, replace or alter that value.
- at *several* places, one can then check the integer to see
if that 'class' of client has a given acl applied, is given a
free-pass for the particular acl, or is skipped over an entire
group of tests ('endpass'). Very simple test, and not locked-in
to any specific built-in or cached/not cached result(s).
Quite flexible, and perhaps lighter on resources even if only
one test is to be made.
As the needs always seem to grow, having a 'personality' code
that travels with each connection and can be logged is handy.
