Could be, but it's more likely that mod_proxy is enabled, allowing this
server to act as a proxy server. In that case, you should turn it off
(or restrict access to trusted users, if you meant for it to be a proxy
server). You really don't want your computer fielding requests from random
people to other servers.

By the way, does anyone know whether some versions of Apache, or some Linux
distros or something, ship with mod_proxy enabled? I see this question a lot
on comp.infosystems.www.servers.* .
