Rewrite wrong request

Hi everybody,

In my web site I have several index pages in different languages in the following format

Code:
http://www.mysite.com/lang_index.html

Two days ago I noticed increased, many times. Google bot activity on my site and when I checked my log file I found that all pages crawled were wrong web addresses: to the above index were added existing files from my site like

Code:
/folder1/folder2/file.html

So, the strings looked like

Code:
http://www.mysite.com/lang_index.html/folder1/folder2/file.html

And surprisingly all they returned code "200".

My question is: is there any way to rewrite such requests to the first ".html" found in the string.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Something like:
Code:
RewriteRule (.*\.html).*\.html$ $1 [R=301,L]

You should find out why a bad URI is returning a 200 status code.

Perhaps you have some rewrite rules already that are effecting this?
