Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dansguardian

When using dansguardian, firehol and tinyproxy with the directions here
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=207008), most pages go through
fine while others (malicious websites/inappropriate content) is blocked,
with a message returned to the user. However, some pages, such as the
BBC links contained on the firefox bookmark bar do not load. They aren't
shown as blocked, they do not show up in the access logs as blocked but
they do not load, however, their favicon loads fine. This occurs on some
other sites too, and a machine on the same network without the filter
may load the pages fine. There are no indications in any of the log
files that anything was blocked.
