They indeed seem all to be ameritech DSL subscriber lines.

Looks like "they" try to

1) Find out whether the is webserver
2) Find out the server's type & make
3) Find out what's available at the default virtual server

Could be skiddies, could be your ISP trying to find out whether
you are running a webserver thus breaching his Terms Of Contract...

Seriously dontcha worry mate, I get requests like these all the time from
as far away as Pakistan. You can restrict access by IP on the webserver
or on the firewall, you can restrict by URL etc. etc. Possibilities are
vast, all depends on your security needs.

Best,

Thank you Davide.

Two Listen works :) Is that the reason wise say Listen twice, act once :))

I have a different server running on port 80, so I chose 81.

You need two "listen" directives, one for 81 and one for 9099.

[users@httpd] Running apache on multiple ports

Posted by Richard Victor Correia <ri...@ugamsolutions.com>.
Hi Joshua,

I hope you are having a nice day.

I am trying to run my web server on two ports simultaneously.

I am using apache 1.3 on red had linux server.

The default Port is 81, in addition to that I am adding "Listen 9099" in
httpd.cof.

When I restart the server, I am able to see 9099, but not on 81.

There is no hint/message in error log.

What could be the problem? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Richard
