If you can get a good list of what is requested, such as the one started
above, and 'if' none of those pages exist, you can use modrewrite to
redirect them to 127.0.0.1. :) Effectively sending the request back to
themselves. That irritates them. Can be done on a per domain basis or
serverwide for those regular attempts into what might exist on any
server. For instance, I regularly see phpmyadmin references. I don't run
that on any servers, but they come looking.
