Subject: reverse proxy identification

When I browse to the IPs with firefox, I recieve several messages "No web
site is configured at this 
address." for some IP.
Does anybody here know if this message is specific to a given reverse
proxy/web server product ?

That's an IIS message.

For evidence of a reverse proxy - particularly one that's doing app
firewalling - look for it to block stuff that's attack-like.  For instance:

Request: /sexpistols.asp?track=god%20save%20the%20queen
Response: 200

Request: /sexpostols.asp?track=anarchy/../in/../the/../uk
Response: 302, 404, or some other response that suggests the app never saw
your request

If you're using Nessus, recent versions will often report the presence of
urlscan when a web app 'firewall' is in front of the actual web server.
