Do you have any idea what 208.27.83.140 stands for? It is one of your IP 
addresses? Usually, this problem occurs when the REGISTERs are not 
intended to SER -- the hostname or the IP address in request URI is 
different than the one of the machine when ser is running. If this IP is 
the one of the machine with ser they try to add the hostname you are 
using into SIP URIs as an alias in ser config file. Just add a line like 
the next one into global parameters section:

alias="mydomain.org"

htdig is another tool for searching into webpages. So, obviously you are 
using the wrong directory. Depending the distribution you are using, if 
you install the web server from sources or from packages, the web 
directory may be located in different places, like /var/www or 
/var/httpd or /home/www or /home/httpd ...

The best way to see where this directory is located is to find first the 
httpd.conf and look into it for 'DocumentRoot'. Note that I assumed that 
you try to use Apache web server.

Best regards,
