Wow hi, are you really from the Nasa website team??? I’m kinda shocked…
Wildcards, ahh… Okay I will look into it and such feature will be available in 1.1.0, soon :).
Actually, yes, not with the overall NASA or NASA Glenn webteam, but this specific group here, who uses WordPress to build sites at NASA Glenn Research Center:

One of our requirements for NASA sites is to mark external links for any non-NASA site. Using a plug-in to do so greatly saves time. We’re upgrading to WordPress Multisite for our group, which means the old external links plug-in we were using stopped working correctly. So I found your plugin today and set it up pronto. It’s working on our NASA GRC WordPress Users Guide site, now.
Thanks for taking the request into consideration.
Nice! I got the NASA + WP feeling from that site :).
The ‘Forced Local Domains’ is actually meant to force other external domains to be local. How about making the ‘All subdomains’ option to act just like *.nasa.gov?
Hi, 1.1.0 should be available tomorrow, make sure you get it ;).
I see it! Installed and it’s working right now. I’ll have to look at my settings later.
In the meantime, I wanted to share how we style external links (seems to be a convention), adding a bonus hover effect. Edit as you see fit.
==========================================
a.ext-link, a.ext-link:link
{
background: url(images/external.png) no-repeat 100% 0;
padding-right: 13px;
}
a.ext-link:visited, a.ext-link:visited
{
/*color: purple;*/
background: url(images/external.png) no-repeat 100% -100px;
padding-right: 13px;
}
a.ext-link:hover, a.ext-link:active
{
/*color: red;*/
background: url(images/external.png) no-repeat 100% -200px;
padding-right: 13px;
}
Here’s the image referenced above.

Thanks for the contribution, I think I will add it to 1.1.1, very nice effect indeed. And yes, I see the plugin working nicely there!
