We traced a very large data transfer from the host we had running 
aanval to 82.165.229.52

Interesting thing about that ip address:
host www.aanval.com
www.aanval.com is a nickname for aanval.com
aanval.com has address 82.165.229.52
aanval.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.aanval.com

  82.165.229.51 is also known as oad.aanval.com. OAD stands 
for 'Offender Analysis Database'. And default install of 
aanval console sends lot's of data to that database. In 
aanval console go Aanval -> System Options -> Processor 
Options -> uncheck the 'Offender Analysis Database' option -> 
press 'Update Options' -> see how the traffic to oad.aanval.com stops.

21GB?  7 hours?  Do the math, that will saturate two t1's for 7 hours.

And besides, we turned it off in system options the day we installed it.
Did RTFM.

Thanks for playing, next player?


  I suggest that you RTFM more prior to installing something. :) 
Navigate yourself through

and get a headache in the 
morning (hint: I think this is answered in documentation, at 
least). :)
