I uploaded DeleGate/9.9.2-pre6 including the patch.
By the way, I should say the example above does not work and the wild card
entry must be at the bottom of a hosts file as below:

   #!max=1
   a.a.a.a domain.com
   a.a.a.b test1.domain.com
   a.a.a.c test2.domain.com
   a.a.a.a *.domain.com

or

   #!max=1
   a.a.a.b test1.domain.com
   a.a.a.c test2.domain.com
   a.a.a.a domain.com *.domain.com

Cheers,
Yutaka
