This was covered by me in a blog post some time ago, as to my 
approach:

The rationale for having a redirect (offsite, back to the 
proper's localhost) is to quell noise from the probing, that 
would otherwise land in Logwatch reports

The effort for maintaining the rules is minor compared to that 
of wading through logwatch reports full of cruft, multiplied 
by however many webhosts one reads log files for.  As I read a 
couple hundred logwatch reports each morning, a significant 
win for me ...

Also, the same probing scripts seem to wash around and after a 
while, one has most of them identified, and in the redirect 
file

To get folks started, I've pushed my local packaging of rules 
'outside' under a GPLv3+ license in SRPM form at:
