 * For others who might read this thread, I muddled through and updated my .htaccess
   to do the redirect. I still don’t like that there’s this extra unused blog in
   the system, but I guess I’ll deal.
 * Here’s the mod_rewrite code:
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{http_host} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
       RewriteRule ^(/?)$ http://site1.example.com/ [R=301,NC,L]
       ```
   
 * This has the effect of redirecting any URL with or without a single slash but
   if there’s any URI (path) at all it leaves it alone.
 *     ```
       http://example.com
       http://example.com/
       http://www.example.com
       http://www.example.com/
       ```
   
 * all redirect to: [http://site1.example.com/](http://site1.example.com/)
 *     ```
       http://example.com/path/to/something
       http://www.example.com/path/to/something
       ```
   
 * will remain untouched.

 * Normally I do use php redirects but I can’t replace the index.php as it would
   break wordpress so I don’t see how I could make it redirect that way. I figured
   I could add a rule to .htaccess but i’m not skilled at rewrite rules.
 * Not to mention, it seems messy to have an actual blog in existence and taking
   up space in my UI that is not ever used. It seems prone to mistake, i’m sure 
   i’ll accidentally post to it one day.
 * Why does the documentation never even mention this? Seems like kind of a big 
   miscommunication. You can’t make several parallel or “equal” sites. I of course
   am okay with having a “default” but this is more like a “main” or “primary” site
   with sub-sites.

 * I have rebuilt everything several times. No difference. I did recently (yesterday)
   switch my Apache MPM from prefork to worker. It hasn’t crashed yet but it did
   hog a lot of memory a few times.

 * This is the same sort of “attack” i’m seeing, but mine is just normal blog posts
   and categories rather than the monthly archive.

 * I am having this same problem! I have such a modest unused blog.. I don’t get
   it! They aren’t access my archives though, just my normal posts and pages.
 * Any other solutions? A plugin?
