Hi!
I have the following hosts.xml file:

  <host name="ityyy|itzzz" profile-id="allaccess" />

  <host name="it14[789]" profile-id="ITLtop" />
  <host name="it1[56789][123456789]" profile-id="ITLtop" />
  <host name="it2[123456789][123456789]" profile-id="ITLtop" />

  <host name="it07[89]" profile-id="ITLmiddle" />
  <host name="it1[123][123456789]" profile-id="ITLmiddle" />
  <host name="it14[123456]" profile-id="ITLmiddle" />

  <host name="138.37.94.+" profile-id="student" />

when the script is run on ityyy student profile is always selected 
(match is found on 138.37.94.+). As the documentation states that the 
hosts are processed top to bottom (with the exeptions of non reg 
expressions) the allaccess would be found and used first.

However if i use the single host syntax for all access
<host name="ityyy" profile-id="allaccess" />

allaccess is selected correctly.

I'm using version 1.1.1

Many Thanks

Luk
