Subject: AIM and ads.web.aol.com traffic
Hello..
Does anyone have a solution for this. I want to allow AOL's instant
messenger on outbound port 5190, but the AIM client software seems to
constantly pull in advertisements, tickers, banners, etc using port 80 to
ads.web.aol.com and ds.web.aol.com (each of which resolve to a number of
different IP addresses.
I'm told that if I block http port 80 for these IP addresses that
AIM
will also fail. Is this true? Is anyone else allowing AIM outbound seeing
excessive http traffic to these addresses?
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ads.web.aol.com
Addresses: 205.188.140.249, 64.12.184.57, 64.12.184.25, 64.12.184.89
64.12.184.121, 64.12.174.153, 64.12.174.185, 205.188.140.185
Thanks.
