Weird DNS lookup to sophos domain

Hi all,

I'v been playing around with a few tools and spoted a few weird DNS lookup
originating from my local system to sophos backend.. i guess its coming from the Sophos Endpoint binaries somehow; a few samples below:

3.1o19sr00n68795o3p379sspq8r30n2n4n9qp1p1r84q0s835p6ro867226sorn3.p29p3r741o437393648s22s52n1r1n0231997p9q15n74292319s18506rp979s.***581p.i.00.s.sophosxl.net

3.1o19sr00n687959rp375s9pq8r30n2n4n9qp1p1r84q0s835p6ro867226sorn3.p29p3r741o437393648s22s52n1r1n0231997por774535r0r2ro6ps0rrps1pr.qq2263nr4q.***x.i.00.s.sophosxl.net

3.1o19sr00n6879463p371q3pq8r30n2n4n9qp1p1r84q0s835p6ro867226sorn3.p29p3r741o437393648s22s52n1r1n0231997por67n571q0p38o8ps0rrps1pr.qq2263nr4q.***x.i.00.s.sophosxl.net

Anyone would have any ideas about what this is indeed ??
Thanks,
regards,
m.

This is the Endpoint Client doing web filtering categorization lookups (SXL). You must have Web Control enabled.

That is really weird indeed because my Web Control is Disabled, i've had some privacy concerns enabling Web Control which is why its disabled...

Let me know,
cheers,
