Return correct IP address for whitelisted domain

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware returns a loopback address for a blocked site, for example,

> nslookup icons.newsblur.comServer:         192.168.0.1Address:        192.168.0.1#53Non-authoritative answer:icons.newsblur.com      canonical name = icons.newsblur.com.s3.amazonaws.com.icons.newsblur.com.s3.amazonaws.com     canonical name = s3-1-w.amazonaws.com.Name:   s3-1-w.amazonaws.comAddress: 127.42.0.10

A loopback address is still returned even after a web exclusion has been added for the domain. I propose that the correct IP address should be returned after a web exlusion has been added. Returning the bogus IP address for a whitelisted domain causes problems in other software such as the ABE (Application Boundaries Enforcer) feature of the Firefox NoScript extension as can be seen in this log excerpt

[ABE] <LOCAL> Deny on {GET http://icons.newsblur.com/11111.png <<< http://newsblur.com/ - 3}SYSTEM rule:Site LOCALAccept from LOCALDeny

Returning the correct IP address of whitelisted domains would be logical and obviate the need for workarounds in unrelated software such as NoScript.
