BBC News website down?

[bondbill2k2]

Just wondered if its everyone as I've not found any reliable sources to confirm it but the BBC News website currently seems to be mostly down or at least the bbci.co.uk domain hosting their images and css. Getting page cannot be found on a computer in our Smoothwalls but no issues on ANY other sites.

Seems fine here.

Seems okay to me, loading quickly and with images/CSS... Down For Everyone Or Just Me - Check if a website or site is down. is worth using when you're not sure...

Hmm will take a look at Smoothwall caching then! Worked this morning so this could be a fun one.

Front page was a load of stuff about how some of the "Mrs Brown's Boys" stars are using off-shore accounts for tax avoidance. Maybe your firewall just has good taste?

Bizarre , it displays fine for authenticated users but transparent it doesn't load any content. Smoothwalls live logs show nothing blocked, policy tester shows it as accessible for both an Unauthenticated IP and a user with the same web filter policy being applied. The only difference is no HTTPS inspection on the authenticated users which only has a Web Search HTTPS inspect enabled.

 

Would an admin mind moving this to the correct section now its looking to be more a filter issue? Thanks

Added .bbc.co.uk and .bbci.co.uk to the do not cache and restarted the proxy with a clear cache which didn't resolve the issue. I then just set caching to 0 and restarted the proxy again which seemed to resolve it, odd!
