Yes, this is the source of your problem and yes, it should include all the
domain names you want included.

The "#" character acts as a comment--in other words, this config file does
not explicitly set limit_urls_to. The compiled-in default is to set
limit_urls_to exactly as start_url. (In other words
http://www.stargazette.com/)

You probably want limit_urls_to as either a list of all the domains, or
perhaps simply the string stargazette. The latter will index any URL with
that string somewhere in it.
