Network is unreachable: connect to listener

I have noticed that in my Apache (1.4.22) error_log file the following warning appears almost every second.

[warn] (128) Network is unreachable: connect to listener

Does anyone know what this means? Which network is unreachable? Was in unreachable while connecting to the listener or is it connecting to it now? Which listener? What does the (128) mean?

Thank you.
 
Does Apache work at all on your system?

Which addresses/interfaces is it listening on?
 
Yes, Apache works fine and people are happily connecting to the site.

Good question about interfaces. Led me to have a closer look at the httpd.conf file. For some reason in our production environment the Listen directive only has 'Listen 80'. In Apache 2 this results in binding to port 80 on all interfaces. What we really want here is 'Listen ourinterface:80'. Not sure if this will solve the above message, but needs to change anyway. Won't be able to test that soon, because we have to jump through all the hoops first to get production changed.
