i am doing some load testing on apache and i gets tons of internal dummy connections
::1 219 - [22/Dec/2011:11:02:57 +0000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 181 "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)"
::1 221 - [22/Dec/2011:11:02:58 +0000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 181 "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)"
::1 188 - [22/Dec/2011:11:02:59 +0000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 181 "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)"
::1 243 - [22/Dec/2011:11:03:03 +0000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 181 "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)"
::1 215 - [22/Dec/2011:11:03:04 +0000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 181 "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)"
::1 178 - [22/Dec/2011:11:03:05 +0000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 181 "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)"
This is the virtual host config:
NameVirtualHost *:80
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal dummy connection.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$ /blank.html [L]
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email@email.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/domain/html
ServerName domain
ErrorLog /var/www/vhosts/domain/error_log
SetEnvIf REMOTE_ADDR "(.+)" CLIENTIP=$1
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-For "^([0-9.]+)" CLIENTIP=$1
LogFormat "%{CLIENTIP}e %D %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" trueip_combined
CustomLog "/var/www/vhosts/domain/access_log" trueip_combined
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain/html>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
To solve this i am readirecting all internal dummy connections to blank.html using the rewrite rule, but it give me a error in syntax?
[root@ip-10-56-1-98 ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf:
RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters
Any ideas?
