There is a need to make available wildcard whitelisting, especially for users who have enabled stricter classification policies (e.g. full domain).

This will probably include both the ability to use just a * for a wildcard or use regex if preferred. Care must be taken to avoid users attempting to whitelist items such as 12.34.56.* and losing security as a result of whitelisting more than ip addresses. Allowing/requiring CIDR notation for this would help (at least, it would help the more advanced users -- the average user should at least be prevented from shooting themselves in the foot, though).
