Briefing

mod_status is useful for operators and usually restricted to localhost. With ExtendedStatus On it shows the full request line of every active connection, which includes tokens that applications put in URLs.

The intranet server sits behind a load balancer that is also reachable from the internet. Its Apache config is in /etc/apache2.
