Thanks for all the suggestions. I like the simplicity of using nc (netcat) to just serve a single page, that is very nice and clean indeed.
Exploring the possibilities presented here I am now wondering if it would be possible to present content based upon the requested hostname? The server has a few domains it answers for and it would be nice to have 'personalized' pages for those. These domains however are virtualhosts and share the same ip address. All I can think of is creating a separate table for each virtualhost (by grepping their respective error logs), and based on that send the bad guys to a specific port, with nc serving a personalized html page. This approach however is rather cumbersome to maintain and therefore undesired. Is there any way PF could distinguish between requested hostnames that share an ip address? Or is there another, more workable method to achieve this idea? Thanks, Matt
