No, No web server ( whatever they are ), are dos attack like one off attacks, or can they happen over prolonged periods.
it's very likely a port scanner of some description. Port 80 should be closed and your routers firewall should of kicked in anywho.

DDOS attacks can last for days an be every 10 seconds, if the "hacker / software" knows what they are doing. Seems like the attack wen't ment for a webserver as is was taketing port 80 httpd. Nothing to worry about.
