Oh, the source IPs are all over the place.  Because these are tripping
my automated defenses, each IP is getting only one crack per week at
me, but I'm still seeing significant numbers of them, on a par with the
number of hosts requesting /ftp/... or /crawl/... (both of which used
to exist, but haven't in years; crawlers seem _really_ slow to grasp
the notion that they're gone).

I'll have a look at how hard it would be to fix the bozohttpd I'm using
to strip that.  I may or may not bother checking the host part; I don't
much care what happens to requests that _do_ try to use me as a proxy.
