Sorry to bring you the bad news, Jaqui, but bots don't respect
redirection. I suspect they discard any response not bearing 200. I
tried the 127.0.0.1 trick months ago to no effect, and have also tried
redirection into private IP address space (eg 10.x.x.x). So I guess I'll
just continue to suffer in (relative) silence. [If redirection did work
on bots, I was going to find the most evil virus-ridden hellhole to send
them to!]

I'm not too concerned about OPTIONS - it isn't used in any intrusion
attempts, and IS used on my local network. I mentioned it just to point
out that it's a server thing, not a vhost one.
