Do you edit rewrite rules for every access that would otherwise be a
404 and change it to a 301? If so, what do you redirect them to, and
why? Sounds like a lot of work.
My experience has been that they tend to go away if they get 404 (not
found) errors.
I have noticed, though, that sometimes I seem to get hit with a
similar pattern of requests from different IP addresses. Just
guessing that multiple different people find the same script or list
of stuff to feed a script, and independently try the same requests
from different places.
