Strange entries in httpd access_log

[Luconsta]

Hi All!
In my access_log I found some strange entries that look like this: "... GET

http://some.other.server

[/path_to_file] HTTP/1.0" 403 xxx,
where xxx is one of 0, 287, 314.
I know that usually the acces_log contains only records of files that resides on my web sever but not files outside my web host, and from this log it seems that someone get some files outside my host using my httpd daemon. Is true that that 403 is an error like "Forbiden ..." or something but why it get logged on my site when the request is for other server?
Can somebody tell me if these are normal or is something wrong with my httpd daemon (some misconfigurations or even worst - some security breaches)?

Thanks.

Lucian

Possibly what you have is one of your users with an outside link to get information from another site such as counters etc. What you see is a normal log entry based on what a web page content requires from outside sources where by the web page retrieves info to do something. again like counters or webrings or alot of other things out there available to home site users.

Only thing you can do is follow that link or url and see what comes up in browser yourself to find the answer to what it really is.
