I think a better method would be to bind mount the location you want to store the www file in to /var/www. That way you keep apache inside that directory rather then being able to access any file on your system (better to be safe then sorry later when it comes to exposing things to the internet).

I was under the impression that even folowing system links that apache could not leave the linked to location , unless of course there was a link in that location and so fort and so on ?

If you're really interested in this stuff, I can recommend http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody
It's a bit old but still one of the best tutorials, with a fallback for browsers not able to handle <video>, without the use of flash.

yes that's a nice slightly more in depth right up on it .
and is what I did ,,,,,,only just the part for .webm and dropped all the stuff for a download and flash and other formats .

Rarely is "attacking back" a good idea. Many attacks are laundered through unsuspecting third parties, and what appears to be the origin really isn't. If the third party were to eventually analyze their problems, they'd be hard pressed to distinguish you from the real attacker, and you could be charged for computer fraud and abuse.

But you could look up the ip and try contacting them to tell them you have seen suspicious behaviour form their ip (or contact their isp). Hopefully they can do something about it.
