I am having issues on my site with large volumes of hits to invalid urls (see http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/210768/). In particular, this is happening to one of my template groups, which functions as a digest of several news blogs. Because of this, said template group only contains an index template and an rss template.
I am not sure if this is somehow contributing to the number of invalid urls that come through that particular template, but what I am wondering is if it might be possible to use .htacess to make sure that anything except Digest/index or Digest/RSS returns a 404?
I’ve tried the Strict URLS feature but a) it doesn’t seem to work (perhaps because of the .htaccess I already use) and b) I would prefer not as it would break some of my existing pages where the structure is http://www.domain.com/static-page without using template groups or templates. The issues mainly seem to be with this one template group anyway, so I would prefer to tackle it directly instead of affecting the whole site.
