Comment (by DH-Shredder):

 From a host perspective, we get so many hits/"checks" for favicon.ico and
 favicon.gif that we are actually placing empty files for them in each new
 domain's directory to lower potential load due to the 404s that would
 otherwise occur.

 This just to say -- I'd be cautious with having PHP do any of the
 redirection for favicons due to the frequency in which they're hit both by
 bots and users.
