We were hitting this block frequently causing use to throw redo work unnecessarily. Just throw a cache on it.

I selfishly also converted it to Rust while I was here because it uses many of the same primitives as our push rules code, but I can back this out if it seems over the top.

// check for ipv6 literals. These start with '['.
if server_name.starts_with("[") {

This attempts to stay close to the Python code, maybe it would make more sense to do Ipv6Addr. 🤷

I didn't fully follow the stuff about having to go via storage controllers or not. Defer to @erikjohnston on whether or not this makes sense (it probably does?)

I've left some more comments too.

I guess we already have existing tests for this, and we're just changing the impl so don't have any new behaviours to worry about. It might be worth a test which changes the ACLs and checks that the new set of ACLs apply, if we haven't got such a test already. (The thinking is to sanity-check the cache invalidation works!)

From 50 feet away, I'm just a little anxious that we now have three places to remember to invalidate the cache. In general, I find it hard to know when to invalidate caches other than "put it in a sensible place to make the bug go away". But maybe this is fine.

It might be worth a test which changes the ACLs and checks that the new set of ACLs apply, if we haven't got such a test already. (The thinking is to sanity-check the cache invalidation works!)

Any thoughts on this---do you think it'd be worthwhile?

It is tested by sytest. I had removed the cache invalidation and tests fail. I'll double check though.

Aha, that works for me!

Tests fail when I remove the invalidation. 😄
