| With that in mind could someone explain why this website http://www.feather.com.au/ works okay in some countries but in others you just get an apache test page? |

I am not quite sure. I've tried going to
http://feather.com.au/
http://208.xxx.xxx.xxx
All redirected me to
http://www.feather.com.au/
The only time I got a default page (though not Apache's standard "It Works!" was by going to;
http://www.feather.com.au/index.html
Since you are using rewrites, I will assume these hits from some countries are actually bots that scan the net constantly, looking for stuff to break in through, usually using lwp-perl or similar and therefore ignore the redirect.
Has anyone actually contacted you and complained? |

| thanks for the reply. It's not my website, thus my lack of knowledge - its a website my wife needs to access but cannot. We live in Dubai where it doesnt work but testing it from a US proxy works okay. |

| Then I guess they are using geoip to block certain countries (I do too but not the UAE). |
