Netcraft Info for abcnews.go.com and FreeBSD

2003-03-24 Thread Bryan Vyhmeister
In looking up some sites on Netcraft, I discovered a bit of an anomaly. 
Check it out at:

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?site=abcnews.go.com

How does this kind of anomaly happen? Obviously we have some sort of 
clustered set of servers that are serving up abcnews.go.com using 
Microsoft-IIS/5.0. It appears that they are running Windows 2000. Where 
did the FreeBSD OS fingerprint come from? How does Windows 2000 look 
like FreeBSD? Obviously Microsoft-IIS/5.0 does not run on FreeBSD. 
Could it be that FreeBSD is acting as a firewall or load-distributor? 
Any ideas?

I guess I should have looked a little more. Interesting anyway. I 
wonder what sort of load balancing solution they are using. Any of you 
using load balancing solutions? I did a search on Google and came up 
with a few things but it was not all that helpful.
