<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the reply. I guess I was not clear enough in my post. I know the /cr-bin/mp.exe is part of the POST request.

<p class="MsoNormal"> What I do not understand is where the gmer3.itd.sterling.com/home.htm is coming from. It is not my proxy_pass value.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is not part of the POST request or part of the nginx proxy_pass or any thing I can find in my configuration.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is my post being sent to both my proxy_pass value and this site in the log? Do I have a hacked nginx?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That part of the log is not the request URL, it is the referrer header. The path that was requested on your server is before that - a POST request to "/cr-bin/mp.exe". The referrer (which the HTTP standard actually misspells as "referer") is
the web page that is making this request to your server.<o:p></o:p></p>
