Squid proxy server: ban multiple websites via banned_domains in separate file

I am using the squid service on a CentOS-7 server
I want to ban a few websites, so I updated my configuration as following:

$ sudo cat /etc/squid/banned_domains.txt
dom1.com
dom2.something.com
dom3.com

$ sudo grep ban /etc/squid/squid.conf
acl banned_domains dstdomain "/etc/squid/banned_domains.txt"
http_access deny banned_domains

After I restart the Squid service, dom1.com is effectively blocked.  But dom2.something.com and dom3.com are still accessible.  Can you advise me about this?
