Netflix for Android now being blocked - why?

Astaro Commando
Currently have a transparent HTTP Proxy enabled. When I try to access Netflix over the android app, I get an error that the service is unavailable. Disabling the proxy fixes it, so it's definitely not an IPS issue.

I was previously able to get this to work by adding the following exceptions:
^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]*netflix.com/
^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]*llnwd.net/
^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]*edgesuite.net/
^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]*nflximg.com/
^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]*nflxvideo.net

This worked for years but stopped working this week. From what I can tell from the live logs, it looks like Netflix is now using new content servers at the 108.x.x.x address block. From what my traceroutes tell me, there is no DNS name attached to these servers so there is no way for me to mass add them like I did above.

Has anyone else noticed issues? Streaming via HTTP browser works fine.
