That's a finding in and of itself.  Security through obscurity might keep
automated scanners at bay, but it's akin to having an anonymous ftp server
running on port 24.  It's still potentially vulnerable even though you have
to jump through extra hoops to find it.

Have you tried Google searches using 'site:client.dom' to see if possibly
these URLs are already floating around out there somewhere?
