[FW-1] FW NG AI and YaHoo IM blocking inbound HTTP requests

[Edwin Davidson <EDavidson@FW1-NOSPAMPRIMEINC.COM>]

I have smart defense enabled.

I am seeing outside hosts hitting my website being blocked due
to smart defense detecting YaHoo Instant messenger.

This looks to be a Com Cast Cable Modem user that was simply
browsing my webserver.  Several of the source 1421-1430 ports were
blocked, whereas higher source ports were not.

Why would smart defense block an incoming HTTP request to my webserver as YaHoo IM,
but not block others?
