    The 200 looks to be a superficial bug in 404.dll. You'r still OK.

    Basically, what your mapping setup did is tell IIS that when you get a .ida
    request, execute 404.dll to handle it. 404.dll is an ISAPI which just sends
    back a canned 404 response. However, it appears that it did not set the
    dwHttpStatusCode to 404 upon completion to notify IIS to log a 404. Default
    IIS behavior is to log a 200 for all execution of an ISAPI unless the ISAPI
    states otherwise, so you're seeing the 200.

    I observed "GET /default.ida .................. - 200" in IIS log
    files. So, I updated the machine with latest windows update patches
    and installed URLLock utility and disabled the mappings ida and idx. I
    verified that those mappings are done to 404.dll through internet
    service manager. Re-started the IIS service. Even after that, I can
    see some of the above HTTP requests still being returned with response
    code of 200. I expect them to return 404 because of the mappings with
    404.dll. Anybody had this problem?
