It was sure to come, particularly after the first post in the discussion pointed out how to use an iRule to detect and "nuke from orbit" these nasty little requests. I was not disappointed.
 
 It's not the case that the solution won't work. It will, and it's certainly a viable solution. At least if you're only running 2 or 3 web servers. And you don't care about the need to interrupt service to implement the solution. And you aren't worried about potentially introducing errors into the server configuration. And you're aren't running IIS or some other web server.
 
 There are a few very good reasons not to use Apache mod_rewrite for this kind of situation.
