ms junk / code red related on apache

Hi everyone,

I am curious as I have several requests in my apache logs for one of my customers server running redhat linux 7.3 loaded with 512MB RAM.

Here are part of the apache logs:
216.13.152.236 - - [11/Jun/2003:06:29:25 +0000] "GET /default.ida?XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucb d3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0078%u0000%u00=a HTTP/1.0" 404 278 "-" "-"

I have read about code red related doesn't affect on apache in linux and it is just creating the above similar in the apache log at:
http://www.apacheweek.com/features/codered

However, currently I have to reload apache (/etc/init.d/httpd reload) once in a day or two or else any new HTTP request will not respond by apache but apache is still up and running which make me wonder is this related to memory issue? Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Kindest regards,
Choon
