There are various behaviors and bugs that are unique to each web server, including Apache. It is often possible to tell fairly accurately if a particular site is running Apache. I'm not sure what the hostname of the server referred to above is, but if it is www.de.msn.com then it really doesn't look to be Apache. Anything is possible, but I would _highly_ doubt it.
