I have recently noticed strange entries in my apache access logs:

WWW.********.COM 195.222.69.86 - - [29/Mar/2001:13:17:05 +0100] "GET 
http://ctc.pornoground.com/cgi-bin/ctc/ctc.cgi?47917758 HTTP/1.0" 302 235 
"http://vikspix.com" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95)"
WWW.********.COM 195.222.69.86 - - [29/Mar/2001:13:17:10 +0100] "GET 
http://WWW.********.COM /cobalt_error/fileNotFound.html HTTP/1.0" 404 - 
"http://vikspix.com" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95)"

Where the my customer's virtual domain is replaced with WWW.********.COM. I do not 
host any of the others mentioned above.

I at first thought that someone was trying to use this server as a proxy, but there's 
too few hits for that - just half a dozen a night - every night.
I added this IP to hosts.deny, and also created a hosts-deny rewrite rule for apache. 
That started the 404's seen above, but didn't stop the hits.

Is there some exploit that allows someone to use a webserver in this way to generate 
clicks?

Any help appreciated.

Regards
Mark Remde
