REFSITEINCLUDE includes all logfile entries that have a reference from the 
specified domain:
REFSITEINCLUDE http://my.host.com/

(As the documentation points out, this is not the same as REFSITEINCLUDE 
http://my.host.com/*)

REFINCLUDE will ony include logfile entries that have references that match 
the specified reference. Therefore REFSITEINCLUDE http://my.host.com/ will 
only list references that come from the root document on my.host.com. A log 
entry that was referred from http://my.host.com/page1.html would not be 
included.


So REFSITEINCLUDE http://my.host.com/ will tell you
1) how many visits to your site were referred from my.host.com
2) What were the referring pages on my.host.com (in the Referrer Report)
3) What pages on your site were linked from my.host.com (in the Request 
Report).
