That is what we initially did, but it only works for about 5 seconds. After
that the Windows Update function branches out to several other websites,
which resolve (reverse resolution) to many different names.

Even if the Address bar in IE seems to constantly display the same URL when
running Windows Update manually, it proves to work differently under the
hood. And the virus scanner will block all those excursions.
