What could be blocking me from signing into iTunes on my network?

I have a Server 2003 R2 environment with two Server 2003 R2 DCs running AD.  I have an eSafe security device acting as my firewall/spam filter.  We have always blocked iTunes and Apple products but are embracing iPhones and iPads so I need to be able to connect and update them.  I believe this to be an eSafe issue but nothing is being logged when I try and fail.  It is, however, still collecting its normal log data as other things are blocked.

I can open iTunes but get the following messages when trying to login:

XP OS=We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The network connection was reset.

Mac OSX=We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The secure network connection was refused.

In eSafe, I have whitelisted:

*.apple.com*
*.itunes.com*
*.itunes.apple.com*
*.ax.itunes.apple.com*
*.gs.apple.com*
17.151.36.30
17.171.27.65
17.149.156.10
63.235.36.115

When I run the iTunes diagnostic tool it tells me that the "Secure link to the iTunes Store failed."

Any advice or suggestions you can offer would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Huge Thank You!

It was actually time.apple.com that was blocking me.  LittleSnitch is an awesome tool for problems like this.

Thanks Again!
