from the netcraft FAQ:
Webservers that operate behind a caching system, load balancer, reverse
proxy server or a firewall may sometimes report the operating system of
the intermediate machine. Hence reports of 'Microsoft/IIS on Linux' may
indicate that either the web server is behind a Linux server that is
acting as a reverse proxy, or has configured the Akamai caching system
such that the first request to the site goes to one of Akamai's servers
[which run Linux], or as in the case of www.walmart.com has been
configured to send a misleading signature.
