favicon.ico

any idea why i'm getting requests (which end up as 404) for favicon.ico since i do not use it in my domains? Is it some kind of bot that does such requests? I dont get it.

favicon.icon is the little icon that displays with the url in the browser. it is the automated search from most all browsers like IE, and Nutscrape.

put a damn icon on the sites, and this will of course, go away. plus, it gives you brand recognition.
