Amos, on "defaultsite=X tells Squid to assume the domain X was wanted when broken clients fail to send a Host: header properly." is "domain=FQDN" or just the domain name(viz. not host.domain.com, nor cname.domain.com) - e.g. FQDN=www.domain.com, where as domainname=domain.com without the host/cname prefix. "words" themselves are ambiguous.... I appreciate your insight.
