dns-ish question.

So I'm super paranoid guy and I always keep a pretty close eye on my httpd logs... when I encounter this strange entry. (or at least I think it's strange). I get an entry that says : name.domain.tld - - [28/May/2003:01:40:09 -0500] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 0 I'm guessing the entry itself implys the end person is poking around, looking for misconfigurations, et al... but the strange part to me is I can not lookup name.domain.tld. Is this some sort of misguided... idea of security? I could do a reverse lookup to log, but...? it seems very flakey to me. I thought it was perhaps a misconfiguration for this particular site, but today a friend of mine has a very similar sort of log entry, only with a doj.gov domain. Any thoughts? thanks. -- - Zep (zep () nemesis mmind net) Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
