Crawling non-existent pages

[nick36]

I've been watching the sitemap generator on my dedicated Linux/Apache server for 3 days now.... It seems to be crawling pages that do not exist... I suspect I've either mis-configured the tool - or there is a bug... It has crawled, so far, 90,000 pages - but I know I only have around 45,000 pages.... The problem seems to be with my URL structure where page numbers are involved... i.e. "../pageXX,htm"

I can PM you the URL if there is anyone reading this.... thanks.

Please let me know example URLs that get indexed. The best way to resolve this though is to make sure that any request to non-existing page results in 404 http code returned by your server. Then you will be able to find where the non-existing link is referred from (in broken links list report).
