A strange thing has happened to my previously sleepy Apache server.
Until this month, I would get a few hundred hits a month, now suddenly
my log says 80,000 hits. Looking at the URLs requested, none of them
relate to my site. Somehow my server is being asked to serve pages that
have no relationship to me. The other thing that I don;t understand is
that the response code in the log is generally
200 "OK" and 302 "FOUND"
Typical extract from my log:

I presume this is something to do with serach engine spidering, but I
don't really understand. Can someone tell me what's going on?
Thanks!
