Cannot connect to/Cannot open/Could not fetch errors in PHP log

[billjust]

First- if this is not the right forum or community for this question, please accept my apologies.

I've been getting odd entries in our PHP error logs that look something like this:
[05-Feb-2008 07:51:26] Cannot connect to

http://www.ourwebsite.comhttp:80

- (52687668)
[05-Feb-2008 07:51:26] Cannot open

http://www.ourwebsite.comhttp://holegirl.eclub.lv/.images/pictureofme?

[05-Feb-2008 07:51:26] Could not fetch:

http://www.ourwebsite.comhttp://holegirl.eclub.lv/.images/pictureofme?

Obviously 'ourwebsite' is different, but the rest is the same. I'm not sure if this is someone hacking our site or just try to relay through it or something, but I don't think it's working for them. Does anyone know how to interpret this and what I could do to stop this traffic?
Thanks in advance!

it doesn't seem to be anything to worry about- unless these references are found in your website. in your webserver logs, you will always find random traffic.

definitely check your site to be sure there are no references to these pages in question ("

http://www.ourwebsite.comhttp://holegirl.eclub.lv/.images/pictureofme?")

and you're fine.

The only way to block the traffic (without compromising the usability of your website) is to block individual IP addresses through either your firewall or apache directives. (firewall would be best) But, if it's not costing you much in bandwidth or processor time, i wouldn't even bother.
