HOSTEXCLUDE supports wildcards, so HOSTEXCLUDE *.community.co.uk would
exclude any requests that come from an IP address that resolves to
something.community.co.uk. (Unless someone was using your webserver as a
browser, you wouldn't expect to see any visits from
www.community.co.uk).

Note that most logfiles only log IP numbers, not names. For HOSTEXCLUDE
to work with names, you will have to be doing DNS lookups, and only
addresses that successfully resolve will be excluded.
