Here is a recent succes and failure from the access-log. Nothing shows
in the error-log:

Yea!!! This works is every case that failed before.
Is "Host:" the id of the machine I am trying to reach or the id of the
machine I am coming from? if I change the value of "Host:" to be that of
the machine that I am coming from then it fails as before, ex: (from the
machine topaz):
$ telnet 206.53.102.28 80
Trying 206.53.102.28...
Connected to 206.53.102.28.
Escape character is '^]'.
POST /southwind/cgi-bin/checkusage HTTP/1.0
Host: topaz.southwind.net

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /southwind/cgi-bin/checkusage.<P>

Connection closed by foreign host.
Assuming that the "Host:" pragma is necessary, how can I force it?
