]]>Here's what the Apache2 mod_status documentation is: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_status.html
I wanted this info to come from a sub-domain - and I wanted is to be very restricted, by IP address, so it would not be available to the world.

The message was something like:

After upgrading to a new grub (linux hard drive bootloader) I saw this message:
* Messages for package sys-boot/grub-0.97-r5:
* *** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install
* the new version's stage1 to your MBR. Until you do,
* stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but
* later stages will be the new version, which could
* cause problems such as an unbootable system.
I found this explanation:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-692724-highlight-grub+upgrade.html
to do this:
# grub-install hd0
I wish there was some way to get an Gentoo package upgrade automatically have a forum entry - with a helpful hint or two by the maintainer even better.

Jun 22 21:34:48 fire dnsmasq[28990]: not giving name gamer2 to the DHCP lease of 192.168.333.43 because the name exists in /etc/hosts with address 192.168.333.94
Very annoying, because it means that the IPs I've assigned to these machines aren't making it somehow.
After researching it looks like I may have put too much info into the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file:
dhcp-host=00:02:RR:0F:8E:RR,192.168.333.34,gamer8
dhcp-host=00:06:RR:70:00:RR,192.168.333.63,gamer9
I will remove the host name from this and see if that fixes it.
Update - this works great - guess too much info can be an issue.
Solution looks likes this:
dhcp-host=00:02:RR:0F:8E:RR,192.168.333.34
dhcp-host=00:06:RR:70:00:RR,192.168.333.63
----
Also: to delete the current dnsmasq DHCP leases:
# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop
# nano /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases - remove offending entries
# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start

I've set it up to email the various Gmail account for my servers. So now hopefully I'll get some advance warning if a hard drive is thinking about failing (which thankfully hasn't happened yet, thanks mostly to a once-every-two-years-or-so hard drive upgrade for these machines).
