I get this error:

ERROR: /export/home/krowland/snort-2.1.3/etc/snort.conf(288) => Invalid IP
to 'server' token.

I guess you can't do a subnet - on a single server...

It sounds like you want to only limit it to a single class C? and not a
Class A? If this is the case you would want to change the subnet mask to /24

Cheers,
Jeff

I know I'm going to get slaughtered for even bringing up the subject of
http_inspect. I've read through the old posts, and also read through the
manual. I'm hoping that someone can offer clarification or guidance on
this, though. I do not want to disable this option - but at the moment I'm
going to have to - just pouring out too many alerts.

I tried to limit these alerts to only my webfarm subnet by doing this:

preprocessor http_inspect_server: server x.x.x.0/8 \
profile all ports { 80 8080 8180 } oversize_dir_length 500

But it didn't like that. I'd just like to restrict these alerts to one
subnet - how do I do that?

Shouldn't I use the all profile if I'm pretty sure that I have apache and
IIS servers?
