Yes it would, if you select the 'use-url = yes' option then all of the
pages on the host except the root URL would get the default age.

# Matches all URLs on the host
<http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/*> age = -1

# Matches all URLs on the host when use-url = no.
<http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/> age = -1

# Matches only the root URL on the host when use-url = yes.
<http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/> age = -1


This is one of the strange parts of the WWWOFFLE configuration file
where the change of one option causes the other options to work
differently.  If you want to match all of the pages on the host then
it is always a good idea to put <http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/*> because
that will always work.  The upgrade-config.pl script will give you a
warning if you use <http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/> to encourage people to
change.
