I do this. I'm /sure/ I've seen some historic user-agents requesting
"favico.ico" or something like that, so I place it under a location of
just /favico.

Mik - you may find that a 204 is not what you want to return, as
browsers /may/ not cache such a 0-byte file for the favicon. I use
this, and include it in every server{} stanza:

location /favico {
access_log off;
error_log /dev/null crit;
empty_gif;
}

I'm fully aware it doesn't work on IE, due to IE only supporting
properly-formed Icon format files; fuck those guys.

Cheers,
Jonathan
