Does anyone know if adding the Apple domain in question to piHole (or your hosts file pointing to 0.0.0.0) will suppress these checks?

It appears as if OS X will revert to using an IP address if a domain lookup fails according to the thread we had on this issue yesterday.

If you're on MacOS, you want Little Snitch installed at all times, even if you have a pihole: a process that is denied network access is far stronger than juping DNS requests.
