I have seen a lot of these attacks om my web-server. What I have done, is to 
create some of the php-files with a statement which do a redirect to 
127.0.0.1/<whatever>

Example:

-------------- /blog/xmlrpc.php:
<php
        header ("Location: http://127.0.0.1/blog/xmlrcp.php";);
?>
---------------
