To the best of my knowledge, I have all the mod_proxy stuff disabled on my Apache production server. What's a reasonable way to test or confirm that? Looking at my httpd.conf I can tell you that any line that has "proxy" in it is commented, for what that's worth.
Reason I ask is that I saw this stuff in my logwatch report this morning:

Not something that's normally in my reports. So it looks like he got 403'd on the attempts, which I guess is good. But what made him feel it was worth a try?
