Hi all.

In the past week, I reset my Apache logs and got Analog setup to run every
hour.  I'm noticing a very large number of page requests from Taiwan and
Japan (well, maybe not VERY large, but definetly much more than I would
expect).  Analog also indicates that in the past week I've had 500+ unique
visitors.  Before I took the site down for a server rebuild, I was hovering
around 700 unique visitors over a 6 month period - 500 in less than a week
seems too high.

You can see the logs at http://logs.open2space.com/open2space/index.html.

Now, seeing as the www.open2space.com website was effectively down for the
past couple of months, I was very surprised to see 200+ page requests from
external sources within the first couple of hours of the site being back up.
The site has never received too many hits.  I have not announced publicly
that the site was up and running again yet either - though a few coworkers
are aware it is.

It seems the requests are primarily for the root web page. Now, to add to
the plot, I changed the root directory for open2space.com via a virtual host
setting.  Prior to this I happened to find a "B2" folder under the web root
that was empty.  I don't remember creating this folder, but might have.
Regardless, it's been deleted.  I've also run chkrootkit on the box with
nothing suspicious found.

So, I'm curious to know if the traffic is legitimate, or if maybe I need to
tighten down my server a little more - I'm reasonably confident it's fairly
secure as is.  Anyone have any thoughts? Or are there any command line tools
I could use to glean more info from my logs?

Thanks muchly for any feedback.

Shawn
