Hiya Gordo

Yep, as you can see the BAA site is giving us an alternate ETag for 
each request indicating at least two hosts behind their hardware load 
balancer and also they are intentionally limiting the server signature, 
so Netcraft  won't notice an Apache upgrade.

[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ]
$ echo -e 'HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' | nc www.baa.com 80 | egrep 
"Server|ETag"
Server: Apache
ETag: "f816-1804-55731340"
[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ]
$ echo -e 'HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' | nc www.baa.com 80 | egrep 
"Server|ETag"
Server: Apache
ETag: "caca-17c5-2dd2b40"

Also httprint reported the following:-

Banner Reported: Apache
Banner Deduced: Apache/2.0.x
Score: 137
Confidence: 82.53

They could patched and up-to-date or they could be full of holes, and 
without more digging who knows, I'm not investigating,, as I live in 
East London and I wouldn't want to give the boys wearing the doc 
martins an excuse to break my door down ;)
