This appear at different IP addresses in my users online log.

Do I need to worry about this?
If I do, what is the cause?
What can I do to fix (if I can)?

These are the IP addresses of the users' ISPs so they will be different.
Or am I mis-understanding your question?

Paul -

In configuring my site to work properly, Brian and I identified that I was having CORS problems. I was just wondering if seeing crossdomain in the log meant that visitors were getting errors instead of seeing proper pages.

I'm not sure. I'll ask Brian if he can take a look.

You can ignore this. Whenever a flash object is loaded from your domain (i.e. the JR audio players), flash will look for a crossdomain.xml file - this is used to "allow" the flash player to load the media item from a different domain than the flash object was loaded from.

I don't have audio on my site. What other flash objects are there? Likes? Ratings?

Just curious.

It could be anything - "crossdomain.xml" is kind of like robots.txt - lots of bots and spiders will look for it. Just ignore it. If I were you I would turn off your access_log - just use something like Google Analytics, as access logging just slows your server down and provides very little insight into what is going on your server. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not sure - maybe in your cpanel? It's part of Apache.
