Well, almost. Point them to a non-existent IP (127.0.0.2 or 10.200.200.200) on
your LAN or private IP space. You'll end up cluttering your apache error logs
if you point to localhost.

I haven't actually looked yet, but I suspect that the the method you described
is what Spybot's immunization does. If so, I think they would be an excellent
seed for a site-wide blocklist.
