Hi jggimi,

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your reply.

I am running Apache 1.3 which came with OpenBSD.

As for logs. I see a lot of, under error log.

Code:
[Fri Apr 17 01:47:21 2009] [error] [client 69.196.133.154] File does not exist: "path to some file" 

[Fri Apr 17 01:45:46 2009] [error] ALERT - ASCII-NUL chars not allowed within request variables - dropped variable 'returnpath' (attacker '69.196.133.154', file ' path to some file ')
That kind of bothers me. I'd prefer not to be attacked. :P

Maybe is just me being impatient with the start up. Everything does seem to be running just felt it was a bit slow starting Apache. I'm only initially starting like 3 childs for it.

As far as the "attackers" ; would you have any idea what I could do to help prevent that? Are there any updated lists of "known" bad or proxied ip's. That I could download and install as a table. I have not found anything like that which is remotely current.

Ideally I would like to be blocking (on my firewall) any known proxies...etc and known bad hosts. (yes I know this is not really related sorry)

Oh is there anyway of outputting these logs to my syslog server?

Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
