Avast antivirus blocking access to dnsomatic.com

The Web Shield component of Avast antivirus is blocking access to dnsomatic.com, classifying it as a malware URL. This happens in both web browsers and my update client. I've reported it to them as a false positive, but they are yet to remove the classification.

I am also experiencing this.

Avast is blocking dnsomatic, saying that it is a malware URL.
