A-ha!! I'm glad *somebody* around here can read! I have read all of the documentation (including that section). At some point in the examples I <thought I> understood the point that was being made, and from that point on my brain "saw" them fitting my understanding. Thanks for point that out!

You didn't read the documentation well enough (and neither do I ;-). squidGuard IS running exactly as it is advertised. I just cut and pasted this from squidguard.org documentation pages : >The domain prefixes www[0-9]? and web[0-9]? are ignored by squidGuard in >URL matching.

In other words, domain matching doesn't follow the same logic as does url matching. -- Olivier Korn.
