It's a standard NIMDA (code red) requests.  It's likely not malicious
but rather careless users who haven't run Windows patches on their IIS
machines.

I run a cron job that parses my Apache logs and sends weekly emails to
ATT Broadband Security - here's an example email that I send.  I
recommend doing the same to your service provider. Let me know if you
want a copy of my script - it's written PERL (really basic)

Example weekly email:

This email has been sent to notify you of clients infected by Code
Red/NIMDA that have made requests to my machine recently. If this report
is of little value, please contact me and I will cease to send this
report.  My goal is to provide you with useful information in your
efforts to eliminate the number of Virus infected machines on the ATT
Broadband Internet network.

Below is a list of infected machines, the dates of their first and last
recorded NIMDA style request, and the number of NIMDA style requests
received:

I run RH8.0 so this sure seems suspicious to me:

And so now is there a way I can make a file of IP/domains that are
banned from contacting my server (all ports)?
