Re: Server logs

Those would probably be open proxy scans. People scan for HTTP proxies by just trying to access another site through your servers. Generally, people who scan for proxies don't have good intentions (unless it's a service to make sure you AREN'T running a proxy.. like the IRC network DALnet does).. they're commonly used for credit card fraud and stuff like that. You may just be in a common high-speed IP range.. but who knows. It's pretty much nothing to worry about.
