Perhaps an example would be helpful. Here is a sample from my connection-killer blocklist.

Code:

sitefinder*verisign.com
*.hta
*<(script|object|applet)*
([^.]+.|)global-finder.
([^.]+.|)uchase.com
([^.]+.|)youfindall.
([^.]+.|)pics-videos.
([^.]+.|)multimania
([^.]+.|)redsheriff
([^.]+.|)redsherrif
([^/]++.|)doubleclick.net/
([^/]++.|)lop.com/
([^/]++.|)dubolom.com/
([^/]++.|)comet.\w/
([^/]++.|)begin2search.com/
([^/]++.|)passport.com/
([^/]++.|)slipto.*/

Most of the time, I begin the entry with a wildcard in front of the hostname, to replace the prefix. You can, however, put wildcards anywhere in the hostname.
