You might also want to block toc.oscar.aol.com. TOC was an open alternative
to the OSCAR protocol which AOL created and is used by many older and
open-source clients.

 login.oscar.aol.com resolves to multiple servers. Perhaps creating
objects for each server using there IP address and not its DNS name
would resolve the issue.

Hi!

Trying to block AOL Instant messenger.

I've created objects for login.oscar.aol.com servers.
I've created a rule: Internal network --> AOL IM login objects --> ANY
service - DROP

It seems that when you click "auto configure" on the IM client, it scans
ports until it finds one that works - eventhough the client can't ping
the
login.oscar.aol.com server....

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Thanks!

- Jeff
