Tom:

This is just a wild guess from someone not yet using SA, but is it
possible that, for example, "protea.int.citec.net" does not match
citec.net but would match *.citec.net instead? Not an expert in the
area at all, just a wild guess based on other matching schemes I think I
may have seen. Hope this helps a little. Ignore me if not.
