Web Filter Updates seems to have life of their own

Hello,

we are using a Sophos UTM as Virtual Software Appliance as Proxy and Reverse Proxy on the border of a separate net segment within our company.
So the Appliance has no direct Internet connection. Security Policies require us to make Internet Connections over another web proxy. This is working well for Antivirus and Firmeware Up2Date Packages.

However, when Web Filters are enabled the UTM keeps trying to talk to the following servers:

ussc1.astaro.com
ussc2.astaro.com
imap.astaro.com
cffs04.astaro.com
astaro.nmmn.net
london057.server4you.de
colossus808.server4you.de
ec2-54-248-108-74.ap-northeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com

which is nagging our firewall administrator. :D

Am I’m assuming right, that these are the addresses for the web filter updates? The requests keeps coming in 10 minute intervals regardless of the Up2Date settings.

There seems to be no way to lead this request to our company proxy. Neither do they use the proxy set in the Up2Date settings, nor a proxy I set in the parent proxy settings of the web filter.

To top this all the request keep knocking on our firewall even when I make a static DNS entry to the mentioned hosts pointing to 127.0.0.1

Is there a way to disable web filter updates or a way to lead the request to our company proxy?
