I myself use this method to open up the SSH port for a particular IP
address. When you try to open a particular URL on my website, you get a 404
because that document doesn't exist. The webserver logs this. A script in
the background sees in the log that this happened, and opens up port 22 to
the IP address which requested the non-existant URL.
