The following regex 

-.*(/[^/]+)/[^/]+\1/[^/]+\1/

prevents URL's such as

to end up in the CrawlDB.  The problem with the blikopnieuws URL's is that 
they don't contain exact repeating parts. They do have stuff like 
http://HOST/path/item/ID_1/item/ID_2 but that's quite a common schema on the 
internet. Adding a regex that filters these occurences would silently discard 
many other valid URL's.

Thanks for your comments, it looks like i'm stuck with this at least for now
