oddsod, I would not know how many times the 'wrong' links had been crawled. I do not keep such detailed stats. We had 18 subdomains affected. About 15 turned to 'urls only' in less than a week.

Today, I can already see that 3 of them have been 301'd and no longer have the www.subdomain.domain.com problem. This is probably the 7th or 8th day since we placed the htaccess and dropped the 'misdirected' links. From all the urls only one went suplemental, maybe because we acted quickly. We are watching that one closely to see if it comes out of that index.

I am not very experienced on this but it seems you can only wait and let the spiders do their work at their own pace. Before implementing this I consulted with a few people here that seem to have a lot more knowledge and thought this might work...
