this is what i have in my config file. my question is do i need to have 
the asterisk before the sub domain like this

ListenHTTP
     Address 192.168.4.6
     Port    80

     ## allow PUT and DELETE also (by default only GET, POST and HEAD)?:
     xHTTP        0
service
headrequire "Host:  .*filter.compumedik.com."
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.26
             Port    80
         End
     End
service
headrequire "Host:  .*virus.compumedik.com."

         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.26
         Port    80
         End
     End
Service
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.26
             Port    80
         End
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.27
             Port    80
         End
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.28
             Port    80
         End
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.29
             Port    80
         End
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.30
             Port    80
         End
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.31
             Port    80
         End
         BackEnd
             Address    192.168.4.32

"Need" ... no.  But your regexp is a bit loose, you probably want to 
adjust it since as written, it would match a hostname of 
"thisisadumbfilter.compumedik.com".  This is probably want you want:

HeadRequire "^Host:[ \t]*filter\.compumedik\.com$"

ok i have made the changes you have said, so the way i had it aslong as 
it has the word filter anything else can be added to it prior and it 
would accept it...? that is not what i want

so i have made it look like this

HeadRequire "^Host:[ \t]*filter\.compumedik\.com$"
         BackEnd

and hopefully only filter.compumedik.com will be there
