This may have been addressed already, but isn't there a log file on the
server that tracks each request for a file, from html down to each gif and
jpeg? I would think that scanning the log file would tell if it was
happening and from where, and I would imagine a program exists somewhere to
do this for you even, though I haven't seen it. I suppose that's not much
help, but I'm confident this can be done.
