LOCAL problem with two local web sites

[hanaguma]

I have read all the posts about LOCAL, but the solutions given only work partially for me.

There are two different public web sites that are local from my machine at work (myfirm.com, parentfirm.com). Internally, one resolves to a 192.168.xx.yy, the other to 172.18.aa.bb

Now not surprisingly, one web site has diverse links to the other, and they are blocked by <LOCAL> Deny.

Now first, this seems wrong, because they are both LOCAL, and LOCAL should be accepted from LOCAL. Does this mean that when applying the rule, you are only resolving the target to test for localness, but not the origin? Looks like a bug to me.

Second, adding a rule like this, as suggested in some earlier threads, before the LOCAL rule, doesn't help (either for one or the other or both domains):

site myfirm.com parentfirm.com
Accept

I figured it out now, I had an issue with syntax, too. This does the trick:

LOCAL
Accept from myfirm.com parentfirm.com
Accept from LOCAL
Deny

It does *not* work with two Accept rules, one for each domain name. So should it really be this, then?

Accept from myfirm.com parentfirm.com LOCAL
