Of course, those particular patterns (being regular expressions)<BR>
probably won't work correctly. I might suggest:<BR>
HOST=%^db EXHOST=%dl2<BR>
<BR>
The * in glob-syntax is superfluous when dealing with regular<BR>
expressions. These now read "any host that begins with db except those<BR>
that have dl2 anywhere in the name"<BR>
