Can I know if they are attempting to access the URL by domain name or by IP address? Ie, what do they write exactly on the "browser". Or script.
No, requests are by IP. Their browser or whatever does the lookup. You can have Apache do a reverse lookup to see their domain if you wish.
Maybe for completeness - the servername is indicated in the request, otherwise Apache will not know which virtual host to serve (if it is serving more than one). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.
