...except for this charming entry that just came through.

Either Inktomi is a lot more complex to administrate than I, a mere mortal, can comprehend, or Tim simply keeps playing the same record over and over promising fixes instead of delivering them. The fact that the URL requests do not change makes responding to them all the easier.

Interestingly, Inktomi, Baidu, et. al have yet come clean with respect to why they intentionally create 404's for the sake of discovering "server configurations". Perhaps we should all consider creating custom 403 pages for Inktomi, Baidu, etc. that poison its "server configuration" database with bogus information. It would be pretty funny to see what happens when this sort of probing activity backfires.
