First, put your domain names in a separate file and use something like
this in squid.conf (if you haven't done so already):

acl baddomains dstdom_regex -i "/etc/squid/baddomains"

Then copy this file to your four Squid servers. If you are working on
Unix/Linux/*BSD, scp would be the tool of choice for that. After this,
reload each of the Squids. To make it even easier, I would write a
small script which does all this.

For case-insensitive matches you need to use the "-i" option.

Peter
