Thanks for the reply, I've added it to the 'domains' file, and used standard IP notation. The site is not available when named. I am aware of the !in-addr, but I have a lot of test environments that go by number only so its best not to use it. I have a script that converts the name to a number anyway when its blocked.
According to my access.log it goes to the IP stated so its not a problem there either. very strange... any ideas?

Let me make sure I understand what you are saying. You've added a site's ip address to a defined destination group, but the site is not being blocked? Here are a few things to think about: Did you add it to domains or urls? Did you add it in the standard xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format? Are the text entries in the same destination group being blocked? When you access this site, does the entry in your squid access.log reflect the blocked ip address? Let me try that one again - You've blocked <20.20.20.20>, but you enter http://20.20.20.20 in your browser and you are allowed into the site. Look at your squid access.log for that entry. Does it show that you were requesting http://20.20.20.20? Did you know that you can force the use of domain names over ip addresses by using the wildcard !in-addr in your acl? (per <http://www.squidguard.org/config/#Builtin>) Hope that helps...
