From <http://uptime.netcraft.net/up/accuracy.html#impossible>: :: Why do you report impossible operating system/server combinations ? Webservers that operate behind a caching system, load balancer, reverse proxy server or a firewall may sometimes report the operating system of the intermediate machine. Hence reports of 'Microsoft/IIS on Linux' may indicate that either the web server is behind a Linux server that is acting as a reverse proxy, or has configured the Akamai caching system such that the first request to the site goes to one of Akamai's servers [which run Linux], or as in the case of www.walmart.com has been configured to send a misleading signature. -- Jakob Breivik Grimstveit, <http://www.grimstveit.no/jakob/>, 48298152 Besøk Newsergalleriet: <http://www.newsergalleriet.no/>; "Death is nature's way of saying `Howdy'".home | help
