I'm seeing a lot of denied TCP traffic coming from machines running Outlook 
from the other side of our site-site VPN. I'm pretty sure that we narrowed it 
down to only occurring when outlook is open.
Here's a sample:

Original Client IP               Client Agent       Authenticated Client      
Service Server Name     Referring Server               Destination Host Name

Destination Proxy            Bidirectional                Client Host Name      
       Filter Information            Network Interface          Raw IP Header  
Raw Payload      GMT Log Time      Source Port        Processing Time           
    Bytes Sent          Bytes Received Result Code        HTTP Status Code

It will continue through a whole range of TCP ports. Pause for a while, Outlook 
will lose its connection to the server and then it starts up again and Outlook 
reconnects. It's driving me crazy. Now, outlook disconnecting and reconnecting 
could be something entirely different since this connection seems to be having 
other strange issues that we're having AT&T look at. But I can turn this 
packets on and off by opening Outlook. Ideas for cleaning this up?

Thanks,

Amy
