Do you edit rewrite rules for every access that would otherwise be a 404 and change it to a 301? If so, what do you redirect them to, and why? Sounds like a lot of work. My experience has been that they tend to go away if they get 404 (not found) errors. I have noticed, though, that sometimes I seem to get hit with a similar pattern of requests from different IP addresses. Just guessing that multiple different people find the same script or list of stuff to feed a script, and independently try the same requests from different places.
