Just to close the loop, this worked for us. According to my Apache guy the secret was in the [PT] passthrough flag there. He didn't know about that trick.

I think I made him nervous with the suggestion that I might want to do such things in other circumstances, but it certainly solves this issue for now.

Thanks again

You could try my "solution" - I see the exception in the logs and, realizing it's just a call for the favicon.ico, just ignore it. Pretty lazy, eh?

I've been toying with the idea of creating a direct action with this name to return something.

As I said:

      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
              RewriteEngine On
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
              RewriteRule .* - [F]
              RewriteRule /.*/favicon.ico /favicon.ico [PT]

                # more rules ...
        </IfModule>

and be done with it. I have an image in the root folder of the domain and that works just fine.
