In my University, all hosts on a page run a dsmc process. However, there are exceptions from the rule. In the hobbit-clients.cfg file, The rule that used to work is like this: PROC	dsmc EXHOST=%.jotunn.rhi.hi.is

Now, yet another host is also exempt from the rule, so I tested the following rules:
PROC	dsmc EXHOST=%.jotunn.rhi.hi.is EXHOST=bestla.rhi.hi.is
PROC	dsmc EXHOST=%.jotunn.rhi.hi.is,bestla.rhi.hi.is

Both rules give unexpected results. So I expect that the rule should be written as a single regular expression, but I do not know the syntax. Can anybody refer me to a description of the syntax.
