...blah blah... there's loads of this stuff...

I've just tried on your site. There is no crossdomain.xml, it redirects 
to a 404 handler, which could explain the :80 connect afterwards. Not 
sure why this is happening, given it is supposed to connect to port 23!? 
Could this be the JVM itself?

It ends with:
--8<--------
       at com.sun.deploy.net.CrossDomainXML$2.run(Unknown Source)
       ... 14 more
Exception java.security.AccessControlException: access denied 
(java.net.SocketPermission rw1.m63.co.uk resolve)

Just "on a whim", I tried that URL on the BBC website.

Result!
--8<--------
   <?xml version="1.0" ?>
   <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <cross-domain-policy>
   <allow-access-from domain="*.bbc.co.uk" secure="true" />
   <allow-access-from domain="*.bbc.net.uk" secure="true" />
   <allow-access-from domain="extdev.bbc.co.uk" secure="true" />
   </cross-domain-policy>

Try fiddling with this and placing a copy on rw1.m63.co.uk, we'll see if 
that works?

BTW, I'm now using IE8, but as I've not yet added the latest patch, I'm 
closing down. Proof, at least, it is Java, not Firefox...


Some to look at:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/crossdomain.xml
    http://www.myspace.com/crossdomain.xml
    http://www.youtube.com/crossdomain.xml
    http://www.amazon.co.jp/crossdomain.xml
    http://www.ebay.com/crossdomain.xml


What you might want to try is:
--8<--------
   <?xml version="1.0" ?>
   <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy>
- <cross-domain-policy>
   <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
   </cross-domain-policy>
--8<--------

But note that this could have *other* implications for your site.
(what a pain in the ass, huh?)


Best wishes,

Rick.
