I believe the chap at MVPHosts was asked about including the Phorm ranges a couple of months ago and his reply was posted here (or maybe on one of the other forums). Since we cannot sensibly search in this thread I cannot find the posting.

I remember at the time he said something about the Phorm/Webwise domains changing hands (but no idea where he got that info from...). But until Phorm actually starts he really can't do anything as he would be speculating what urls they will be using. The fact he has now added a section for them indicates he knows about Phorm and will due course add them. But he can do nothing until they actually start to be used, and knows what can be blocked and what can't (as it would kill your browsing).

Remember you can always add them yourself...
