This gets back to ISA logging every request, as well.
All proxy clients attempt anonymous connections first (usually multiple
times).
Since ISA is very anal (almost colonial) about logging and there is no user
data for those connections, these are reported as IP.
The number of anonymous connections will always exceed the number of
authenticated ones, making it appear to the very basic ISA reports as if
you're serving more anonymous data than authenticated.

Thanks, that makes sense.  Next question is in the Web Traffic by users
in the User column I have domain\user name with their request numbers
and several lines down I will have an IP address with more data that
resolves back to that users station.

Why would the user name be resolved and then also have data by IP
address?  I thought the only way to resolve names was to install the
Firewall Client?

It states under Top Web Users that Network Addresses are presented when
user names are unknown.  What would cause ISA to know the user name with
one request but not another?

That would be the cache updating itself.
ISA logs everything that passes through it and since it's logging
itself,
it's providing the best information it has.

Good Morning Everyone,

When running the Web Usage Reports one of the items is labeled Fetch
API.  Why does this show up as a user and what does this mean?  Thanks
