My problem is as follows. We have severall webservers running debian linux and apache 1.3.33. Sometimes I find numerous entries like these in the status-log:
98-21 14299 0/0/32 W 0.11 6 0 0.0 0.00 0.13 serveradress valid-serveralias POST //cgi-bin/formmail.pl HTTP/1.1
99-21 14300 0/0/68 W 0.27 6 0 0.0 0.00 0.75 serveradress valid-serveralias POST ////cgi-bin/formmail.pl HTTP/1.1
147-21 - 0/0/7 . 0.06 2006 40818 0.0 0.00 0.02 serveradress valid-serveralias POST ///////cgi-bin/formmail.pl HTTP/1.1
.
.
.
148-21 - 0/0/6 . 0.05 2006 40767 0.0 0.00 0.03 serveradress valid-serveralias POST //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
149-21 - 0/0/11 . 0.06 2006 40671 0.0 0.00 0.01 serveradress valid-serveralias POST //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I've changed the servernames, valid-serveralias points to a virtualhost on serveradress. This is the mod-rewrite. This is the same for all users, except the username.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond /var/www/home/username%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond /var/www/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://*****.***.**/$1 [P]
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/home/username/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
This will of course eventually bog the server completely down, but for the moment we have contained it by using mod_throttle. I've seen both POST and GET commands with similar strange syntax.
So my question to you is wether or not this could be caused by an error in our mod_rewrite or if I need to look somewhere else to find the source of this error?
