You say that the URL list is at the top of the Purge section above the
default values and this is the correct order to place them.

The URL specification does not need to be <http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/*>
because when use-url=no is set then it is the root URL of the server
that is looked up and used as the age for all pages on the server.

By testing this on my cache (after disabling deleting of files in
purge.c) I have been unable to replicate this problem.  By setting
use-url=no and either URLs like <http://www1.foo/> and
<http://www2.foo/*> none of the pages on either host were deleted.

Are you sure that you do not have any options like use-url=yes or
age=... above the list of URLs that you have set up specifically?

Do the images that you are trying to keep really come from the server
eol.jsc.nasa.gov and not from another server with a redirection from
the original location?
