The detect_anomalous_servers configuration option looks for HTTP=20
traffic on non-HTTP ports. Basically, if someone starts running a web=20=

server on ports other than the ones you already have defined, snort=20
will generate the alert "(http_inspect) ANOMALOUS HTTP SERVER ON=20
UNDEFINED HTTP PORT" from this configuration.
