Re: Tiny + WebWasher Users [Edit:]
The following reasoning was INCORRECT!.
Read through the thread for more information.
[:Edit]
gwion, I found the problem.  It was the cached temporary files that messed up all that.
When I installed bigfix, my 2 PCs were running WW. Till then, I apparently had been walking over bigfix sites for several days to see what the was about. My guess is (I could be wrong again, agrrr...) somehow those temp files were loaded whenever I hit "gather" button in bigfix. I never suspected because, from the start, bigfix showed it was accessing 127.0.0.1 for updates. I have no idea why bigfix tried 127.0.0.1 from the start, and not now. Anyway, after deleting temp files, now it displays correct server IPs.
I did redownload, un/reinstall Tiny and WW several times, rebooted my two machines, and even installed a couple of "calling-home" programs to see if Tiny really blocks them. Result: nothing could hide from Tiny... except bigfix.
All through this, I didn't even think about deleting temp files... 
Sorry for those who might have been confused due to my incorrect post.
And, thanks gwion, without your assuring reply, I might have messed up my ruleset even further and possibly others, too .
