I'm glad you asked that, because I've been wanting a clarification on that very issue. I originally thought that placing the root domain doubleclick.net in the domains file would catch everything with that root domain. In fact, the configuration page of the documentation agrees: ----- Clip from http://www.squidguard.org/config/ ------------- Note: squidGuard will match any URL with the domainname itself an any subdomains and hosts (i.e. amex.com, www.amex.com, whatever.amex.com and www.what.ever.amex.com but not .*[^.]amex.com (i.e. aamex.com etc.)). ---------------- End of Clip ---------------------------------- But like you, I ran into a problem with doubleclick.net. I had doubleclick.net in my domains file, but ad.doubleclick.net and ln.doubleclick.net were getting through. I was only able to redirect on those two by adding them to my domains file (contrary to the documentation). I have a couple of questions: Has that behavior changed in squidGuard-1.2.0? (i.e. does it do what the documentation says it does?) If not, is there another way to block all possible subdomains? Thanks! Rick
