The problem is in your logic - the first always_direct line only allows
sites that match _all_ of the domains, not _any_ of them. Try this:

acl local_sites dstdomain solik.net tdgu.sumy.ua sumy.net sumy.com
always direct allow local_sites
always_direct deny all
never_direct allow all

Well.. urlpath_regex mathes only the part AFTER the host name.. so your
acl would match something like
http://www.example.com/jumbit.lnid/index.html
or
http://jumpgate.example.com/goto/www.cistron.nl
but NOT
http://www.cistron.nl/

What you want is
acl local-servers dstdomain .cistron.nl
acl local-servers dstdomain .mbit.nl
acl local-servers dstdomain .cistron.net
