I can't get to this IP address thru my firewall as it is listed as a gambling site.

I really don't want to drop that category on my firewall to see what it is.  One of my users is trying to go there and the only thing  I can determine is that it's a rackspace.com ip address in San Antonio.

So,

If someone could just visit the ip and tell me what site it goes to I'd be gratefull.

btw - pinging the site with dns resolution turned on does not return a valid name.

It's a very tiny and simple search page.  White text/links on white background also....

That's all I got when I put it in.

I was thinking KnacK was trying to get us on the Most Wanted List with that IP.

Thanks guys,

That's what I needed to know so I can block the IP, not just the domain and category.

Now, I just need to find out WHY my user is trying to go there.

This didn't show up in my quote but there was a Search Box between 72.3.199.201.com and About Us :  Advertise :  Privacy Policy :  Link to Us :  Contact Us.

Edit: Out of curiosity I searched for dplogin using that search box and I found that this site is a worthless piece of crap; it didn't even return any results.

Watchguard needs to hurry up with their next software release so I can implement seamless web access groups.  THEN i'll be able to check those sites.

It's probably just a cover page for adware/popups/other crap.  It doesn't return results for anything.
