I have:
acl filter url_regex "/etc/squid/banned"

in my squid config and in banned i would have mp3.com

each entry should be on a new line.

after changing /etc/squid/banned you have to tell squid with squid -k
reconfigure

You could also use squidGuard which may be faster when using db files;
however this works well for me.

Kind regards
