Squid can handle these by itself. With a regular "squid -k reconfigure"
after updating the files.

For the list of pure hostnames a "dstdomain" acl is the best.
For the list of URI snippets a "urlpath_regex" acl probably with "-i" is
needed.

If the domain/ip file is an pruned version of the domains with URI
entries, then the URI may not be useful as its all caught by the domain.
If they are different then yes both have a use.
