Splunk Search

How to search a proxy log index to get a list of URLs that match URL field in a lookup table?

I have a proxy log index which contains a URL field.

I also have a lookup table, which contains a list of known bad URLs.

I would like to do a comparison to see if the indexed URL field has any values like those in the lookup table.

Example:

URL Field from Proxy Index:
url="http://www.somewebsite.com/cma-music-festival"

Lookup Table contains fields
category: Other
date: 2016-11-01T19:12:07+00:00
isbad: true

reference: http://www.phishtank.com/phish_detail.php?phish_id=4572548
url: http://somewebsite.com

How would I search the proxy log index to get a list of the URLs that match those in the Lookup Table url field?

Thanks.

Actually I think I found it after testing.

eventtype=cisco_wsa_squid  [| inputlookup phishtank.csv | fields url]

This appears to work for what I am looking for.
