allowing remote inclusions as exceptions?

hello everybody,
I'm using mod security on my servers and escpecially enjoy
that remote 
inclusions are blocked because I host a couple of phpbb2
sites, but now 
a user set up a site with search function to index other
sites, the URLs 
for those requests look like this:
http://www.hos
tsite.com/admin/admin.php?f=index&url=http://www.indexed
-site.com/&reindex=1
as you can see this is also some kind of remote inclusion.
my question is:
is it possible to allow remote inclusions as exceptions in
the rule-set?
any help is appreciated.

Yes, it is possible to create exceptions to rules.  Is your
configuration blocking these requests (assuming your site
name is
www.hostsite.com) -
http://www.hostsite.com/admin/admin.
php?f=index&url=http://www.indexed-s
ite.com/&reindex=1

What rule is triggering?  Can you provide an example alert
message for
the rule that is matching that you want to create an
exception for?
