URL Reclassifications to Unknown in 20170207.20264

Hello,

I was just wanting to see if anyone else has noticed that in URL DB 20170207.20264 many sites are being reclassified to Unknown?

sites include

fairfaxstatic.com.au (used for Australian Financial Review website)

cdn.newsapi.com.au (where news.com.au keeps its image resources)

We block uknowns by default so we have had many users complain today. The changes would have taken place in the last 15 hours or so.

Yes. We have seen very many .au sites put into the unknown category even though the same .com address works.

Example of some big ones:

Started blocking a much larger number of URLs categorised as Unknown after 20170207.20216 was installed.

Hi Nexon,

I just noticed the sites that are being blocked are .com.au sites, i am logging a query with my support contact to see what they say

Support has advised this was a known issue being worked on. Once I returned from lunch it seems to have been resolved.

I have tested a number of sites with the checking tool and it came back with the correct classifications.
