[Xitami] IP address PARKED on my server! Please help!

[Tom Baker]

I'd do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP. If this fails, at least find out who
owns that IP block.
Compare that with the IP's used by Sitemeter, yourself, and any other
relevant IP addresses.

Do mean that the IP has always made a request, or that the IP has a port 80
connection that it sustains?
If it's simply that is shows up in you log every day, I would guess it to be
port scanner or trojan infected PC trying to find a way in to your server.
I get about 100 malicious requests a day on port 80 alone.

Tom
