I have a number of virtual domains managed by Apache. They all use the same
IP address and HTTP port. All the worm accesses only show up in one
of the domain's log files. It is the first virtual host listed in my
Apache config file. So, maybe one could set up a 'junk' domain first and just
not log that one? I suspect this just an artifact of this release of Apache
rather than a 'feature'. But maybe an exploit could help lessen log file size.
