>From your first note:

===========
211.23.180.230 - - [30/Jan/2004:03:22:27 +0100] "GET 
http://www.yahoo.com/ HTTP/1.1" 200 6839 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; 
MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)"
===========

OK, lets go back to the RFC. This is a request for the yahoo web page 
via HTTP/1.1 

HTTP/1.1 requires a host name field to accompany the request  (Section 
14.23 of the RFC). So to test this:

====================
telnet <your host> 80 <Enter>
GET http://yahoo.com HTTP/1.1 <Enter>
Host: <some host> <Enter><Enter>
====================

Now look at your access_log.  You'll see a similar entry as above. The 
200 will indicate a successful transfer of an object. The object 
transferred will most likely by your own default page.
