 UG> That is the big takeaway.

The more important question is whether these requests are causing a real, measurable problem for you.

This sort of traffic comes in waves. You'll see huge surges that last for a matter of hours and then die off for weeks or months. Your logs show your web server isn't exactly being taxed; it's handling a couple of requests per second and responding with 404. No big deal.

You can play whack-a-mole with these bots and add complexity to your setup if you really want to, but you can also just do nothing and it'll be fine.
