A smart cookie's solution listed on favicon.com (who are very level
headed about the whole issue):
Solution submitted by Steven Champeon
RedirectMatch permanent .*/favicon\.ico$ URL
where URL is the URL of either:
1) an icon named something other than favicon.ico, on your own site
2)
http://www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico/requests/are/flooding/my/error
/log
It catches all requests containing the string 'favicon.ico' (which
you must do, as IE will request /favion.ico, or
/subdirectory/favicon.ico, etc. as appropriate given the URL that
was bookmarked) and redirects them to another icon or to
Microsoft's site. The idea is that if you don't have an icon, you
should lodge a protest of sorts, and waste Microsoft's logfiles
instead.
