Question about Apache logs...

I am trying to set up my first Apache web server on Fedora Core 1. I have configured everything correctly (I think), and my temporary index page is accessible. However, in checking my logs, I have noticed that a constant stream of accesses has begun. The log shows up to 6 or so requests per minute, and it continues until I stop the http daemon. The requests come from all different IPs, none of which I recognize. The log looks something like:

Dozens and dozens of these, all with different IP addresses: (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = address of request)
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [30/Jan/2004:18:56:28 -0600] "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" 400 337 "-" "-"

Also, a number of these:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [27/Jan/2004:19:09:43 -0600] "POST /zbbpreq/1075252193968000 HTTP/1.1" 404 333 "-" "Kontiki Client 2.11.30820.0"


I'm no security expert, so what do these mean? Am I just being scanned? Only about 6 people know that I even have a web page up, so this doesn't seem like normal traffic. Just wondering if anyone has seen this in thier logs before.


Cheers
