All of these really ought to be done using a dstdomain acl..

url_regex should only be used if none of the other acl types are suitable
for what you want to match. Only when you have excluded all of the other
acl types as unsuitable should you look into how to match the request
using url_regex.

What does your http_access rules look like, and which acl name is the
above in that list?
