Question about KF2 Related Domain

I was wondering what this connection was for? Server seems to work even with it blocked, but it still slams my personal DNS server with requests every 10-20 seconds or so. I figure it's just analytics (which I have disabled in the server config files).

Edit: If I put www in front of it instead of how the server appears to be trying to connect to it in the log (https://kf2-pfb.hydrapi.net/) it seems like it attempts to connect to the webadmin. It doesn't quite make it there though, connecting to another web interface I have setup instead. The URI in the log resolves to an external server instead of the webadmin.

Edit #2: Brainfart, pfb=PlayFab. So that explains why the server seems to be working with it blocked and why the IP is owned by Microsoft. I'm going to assume that the whole time it was blocked the server wasn't showing up for anyone not on Steam.
