Yes, those are from MSN Messenger (the piece that sits in the background
keeping track of people online, etc).  You will still receive entries in
your logs for denied requests.  Only difference is that the status code will
be a code saying it was denied instead of allowed.  You could add the other
deny rule, but I tend to stay away from specific pages in rules as are
subject to change a lot more frequently than a domain or a domain with just
a directory path.
 
"That's how it is and you should ignore it" :)  Or blow away Messenger.

Hi,
 
I am receiving the following entries for web access from two client machines
I have here, and would like to know how I can disable these machines from
doing this, as the logs fill up very quickly, and this occurs when the
machines are sitting idling..  From my understanding Microsoft Instant
Messenger is the culprit, however, another client with the same version of
instant messenger does not appear to display the same issues.

I have added rad.msn.com to a deny rule for web access, should this still
appear in the log file if it is denied access?  And could I just as easily
add a deny rule for http://svcs.mcirosoft.com/svcs/mms/adxml_main.asp
<http://svcs.mcirosoft.com/svcs/mms/adxml_main.asp>  ...??
 
Any ideas on this would be appreciated, if it is just a case of this is how
things are and I should ignore them, then so be it.
 
Cheers
 
Ant Dowling.
