In /var/squidGuard/blacklists, there are two "local" databases, one for
sites to block and one for sites to always let though:

	/var/squidGuard/blacklists/local-block
	/var/squidGuard/blacklists/local-ok

In each one, there is a file named "domains" and one named "urls". If you
want to block a whole domain, say "mtv.com", just add "mtv.com" to
/var/squidGuard/blacklists/local-block/domains

If you want to let "http://www.mtv.com/goodstuff" through, you could add
"mtv.com/goodstuff" to /var/squidGuard/blacklists/local-ok/urls

If you want to make the changes take affect immediately, run:

	/usr/sbin/update_squidguard_blacklists
