THANK GOD somebody else is getting this. I too have been seeing this error in the logs and getting complaints from random customers.

[Thu Apr 29 07:19:23 2004] [error] [client 80.11.144.82] Directory index forbidden by rule: /(site root path)

This has been going on for over a week on my site and appears to actually be getting worse. Any info on this from anyone with even half (or less) of a clue would be appreciated.
