a real way to stop an http based worm

[Gert-Jan Hagenaars <blender () hagenaars com>]

Can this be done on the web-proxy boxes that the ISPs have on their
networks?  I.e. dunk anything that looks for "/default.ida?blah"?

This way the (in this case: minimal) cost _is_ deflected back to the ISPs,
and traffic doesn't even go onto their backbone to waste bandwidth.

_AND_ this would be a completely technical solution. 

CHeers,
Gert-Jan.
