Okay, I was mistaken. I had the IP being scanned in Whatsup. When I put the
FQDN in it wouldn't resolve it and found nothing. On the same machine
Everything else is able to resolve the FQDN to the IP. Interestingly, while
observing the scan process, I noticed that the www scan would not time out.
It immediately decided that whatever replay it got was not a www. Observing
the same scan on a server with no www service whatsoever I noticed that when
scanning it would time out on the www scan. This tells me the port is 80 and
its responding with something but not quite what Whatsup is looking for.
Maybe thats what is making my firewall erroneously block that port.
