Well, maybe I don't understand dstdomain well enough, but I thought
dstdomain was an exact match. In the file, the hostname usually isn't
included, so for instance, I have pornsite.com. I want it to match on
pornsite.com as well as www.pornsite.com and images.pornsite.com and so
on.

Looking at it further, I'm thinking maybe I'll get what I want by just
pointing a dot in front of pornsite.com. I tested it on one and it
seemed to work. I'll migrate the others and try. Thanks for pushing me
in that direction.
