No - it's an apache server (Linux)

access_log looks like

IP_ADDRESS - - [05/Feb/2008:17:55:56 -0700] "OPTIONS /mccain.jpg
HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider
Protocol Discovery"
IP_ADDRESS - - [05/Feb/2008:17:55:57 -0700] "GET /mccain.jpg HTTP/1.1"
200 56535 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11"

This was the same ip address - just one second apart. I've never seen
that before.
