Netscreens' for instance, will block hosts that are performing
portscans.  
Teros boxes will also block most 'crafted' layer 7 attacks.

What type of scan are you doing?  

Try doing:  nmap -sS -P0 -p80 

And see what you get.  If you get filtered you're looking at a stateful
box, if you get blocked, I would say there's a proxy in there somewhere.

Subject: Interesting challenge





We are doing a pen test for a client and have run into a interesting
situation. The client has a server running IIS and Exchange we can get
to it
through a browser but when we try to run Nessus or Eeye Retina against
it,
neither product can find the server. The client is not running any IDS
system has a simple firewall. A port scan revels no open port though
port 80
is open since the server is serving pages.
