Re: bogus requests

[Abhijit Bhatnagar <abhinator@xxxxxxxxx>]

The first thing that I check in the index.php is the action and if it is not what I am expecting then I redirect to an error page
This is working fine and the error page also opens up fine, but the load on the server increases as well as on the apache server.

This is not apache problem. Try such request to see what happens. The
index.php is probably buggy and does what it shouldn't do.
