BV:
You may be right as far as that goes, but he's not talking about referers. This is about the entries in the log for the requested pages themselves.

And when these are for off-site files, they are proxy access attempts. If the return code is 404, there's no reason for concern. However, return codes of 200 require further investigation to determine if the server is properly configured or not. Unknowingly acting as a proxy for others is a "bad thing".
