A better method would be:

	# dst for destination IP, matches IP address irrespective of
	# hostname.
	acl localserver dst 192.168.1.1
	no_cache deny localserver

The url_regex only matches requests of the form:

	http://192.168.1.1/yadda/yadda

and will not match:

	http://my.local.server.hostname/yadda/yadda
