No- check this out- it's an apache server that the previous admin enabled
mod_proxy on. So, anyone connecting to it and requesting an offsite page
got the page through that machine, so it's like an anonymizer.

Well, there's a lot of different pages. However, who on earth would set up
a robot program to just get banner ads? That's kind of strange.  Unless
it's just some sort of program to flood my bandwidth.

I'm having a hard time getting valid hosts. Some places have no info for
them, others point to companies in other languages. So, I'll try to chase
down the ones I know, but for the most part, like I said, abuse addresses
aren't very helpful.

Oh, well.
