Various issues with DNS connection servers in Canada

I'm having 2 ongoing issues with DNS protection in Canada.

1: a lookup on a site fails sporadically by the Sophos dns servers.  Have an open ticket for a month.  Other dns servers or dns protection products I've tested aren't having issues.

site example:  www.asipartner.com

I have an open case: 01934099

2: DNS protection blocking uncategorized sites, even if have them in a trust list, and have Allow for untrusted sites.  As well as They've been categorized already elsewhere and visible in that category on Sophos XG.

site example: www.aspe.org  (aspe.org works oddly)

Are others seeing similar 'twitchiness' of the DNS protection service?
