re: the 404 issue.. my bad.. I made some changes to my server to filter out all the bots and exploit searchers.. plus a few strange russian link sites.
My Domains should no longer produce 404 pages on your system as I am capturing them and redirecting to the main domain.
Just looked at by ban database and I now have 200,000+ banned IPs.. which include known comment spammers, hosted servers and some crazy bots.
I find it odd that some 20,000 Dedicated Servers or Hosted Servers would have any reason to access my sites. A little research and it seems they are all compromised servers running BotNets..
Some of these servers are on Godaddy, 1and1 and even RackSpace... all using the same URI, and Useragent.. the law of averages would suggest that something aint right..
Anyhooo, all removed and added to the Ban List.. I want to keep my TQ at 10
