Just use mydomain ... I have:

cache_stoplist cgi-bin ? .unsw.edu.au

It will stay there untill normal operation pushes it out.

You could PURGE them all:

but it's probbaly just as easy to wait for them to drop out of the cache.

It matches the full URL.

There is still local objects in the cache coz cache_stoplist only effects
incoming objects, not what is already there.
