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
