Are they all index.html requests? How often do you get them? From how
many different IP's?
It could be just a proxy or a firewall set up to change the user-agent
to some random string, but whether they're surfers or bots you can tell
by looking at all such lines - to me, an index.html alone doesn't tell
me much, maybe others have seen this though and know what it is.
