I do like the concept behind the sleep idea, but this is going to tie up
acesses to *YOUR* server, which means you're literally setting yourself up
for a DoS. I doubt that was a design goal.
I think setting up a script which hands off the vitising IP address to your
firewall and stealths the requests would be much better. If I could get an
answer to a cache implementation question I posted here this morning, I'd
be moving along to providing such a facility to those interested...
FTR, the implementation I have in place right now is invoked via a
rewriterule in apache, so I don't log 404 errors.
