dnsbl.proxybl.org offline?

This morning I got a bunch of calls about all of our websites/portals taking 20+ seconds to load a page.  I jumped on our web server and it was running fine so I logged into the UTM and opened the WAF live log and saw a ton of these for every page request:

DNS lookup for 83.16.168.192.dnsbl.proxybl.org. failed

This the the dns reputation lookup that we current have turned on.  It appears that proxybl.org has had it's DNS wiped out!

I have temporarily turned off the reputation lookup and things are again running normal.  Just thought I would share in case anyone else is experiencing this.

I'd like to hear from Sophos too. Gone for good, no news, no replacement? What's the deal with the blacklists now?

Just remove the dead one as listed in this forum. It's doubtful it's coming back, and even if it is, I wouldn't trust it to remain stable at this point. The other 2 blacklists should suffice in the absence of proxybl.org .
