Unrecognised Domains (OpenDNS)

[NickM]

I installed OpenDNS a while back and just decided to check out the stats page and in the domains section there are several domains I don't recognise, which seems to have been visited quite a lot. I went to the site and cant see anything that looks familiar. Is there any way to trace it back to a specific program and/or computer on my network? Or is there a program I can run that will inform me when an attempt is made to access the site? Its probably harmless but I would like to make sure!

one possible reason is they host these xbox live gamercard sigs that people often use. all embedded images in webpages need to be resolved too. that's why you'll see domains that you've never knowingly visited.

for example if you read this thread after i've posted, you'll notice an entry for marc2003.ukfsn.org - that was needed to display my own sig.

nothing to worry about.
