Packet Filter Logging Question

scottj_01
All-

I need some advice regarding packet filter logging. It seems that when content is delivered from Akami Technologies their servers leave a large number of logs usually ending with tcpflag RST. Please see example enclosed. My question is how do I prevent this needless logging? Mods I may have placed my post in an incorrecty under network security in place of management, logging.... Please relocate if necessary.

Thanks,
Jim
