If the connection is blocked by ISA, the web server will never see the traffic 
and therefore can't log it.
Check the ISA web proxy logs for denials for that site.

I haven't disabled logging, but in the logs, I'm only seeing the successful 
connections, not anything that has failed.

For example, if a client tries to connect to the server specified in the rule, 
and isn't listed in one of the specified client address sets, he is given a 
connection refused error.  When I look in the web logs on either server, I 
don't see any attempt made, it is never logged.

What I would like to do is see all connections to a specific web rule.
 Does that make more sense?
