it is valid (although the dots should be escaped as already pointed out),
but very ineffective and your squid will spend much CPU time when comparing
so many requests.

You should use "dstdomain" at least for some of those and dstdom_regex for
some (all?) others.

Putting domain names into files will make things a bit clearer, as pointed
out, too...
