Hello --
testing PAN/brightcloud URL filtering on two different PAN boxes -- PA500 and PA2020.
both policies have dymanic URL classification enabled.
one box running PANOS 3.1.8 and other PANOS 4.0.2
sample URL: http://www.bankofkremlin.com
online lookup at http://www.brightcloud.com show URL classifed.
PANOS 4.0.2 shows URL classified.
PANOS 3.1.8 show URL as unknown
both boxes have latest brightcloud db (3607 as of last night).
any ideas why the discreptency between the two PAN boxes?

3.1.8 suffers from an issue where PAN can start classifying all websites beginning with www as unknown. It was fixed in 3.1.9.
That might be what you are seeing.
