Arrgh... :)

with AIM, it is little tricky, since one create a rule on 5190, but that is 
really for AOL over TCP/IP.  AIM can be sent over any port.  if AIM detects 
a port is in use, it attempts to use the next one, and so and so on.. It is 
a real pain, especially when attempting to block AIM through a firewall or 
detect on an IDS.  If one uses the sniffer approach, one then can decipher 
the packet and develop a regexp rule from there and craft a custom rule, 
and then add it to ISS Real Secure.  Create the rule outside of ISS Real 
Secure, than import it in.. :)
