2018-02-19 04:02:36 IPv4 austin.logs.roku.com 192.168.0.23 Pi-holed Whitelist
2018-02-19 04:02:06 IPv4 austin.logs.roku.com 192.168.0.23 Pi-holed Whitelist

All of the IP addresses listed above are listed in /etc/hosts, yet pihole doesn't resolve all of them. Also, under "Status" what is "Unknwon (5)"?????

Ever since 3.3 my pihole is a trainwreck.

Try sudo service pihole-FTL restart. FTL only re-resolves hostnames every once in a while. If that doesn't work, try restarting dnsmasq to make sure it uses the new hosts: sudo service dnsmasq restart.

An unknown status means either that dnsmasq failed to resolve a query or FTL could not determine the result from the log.
