You either want to ask everyone to start supporting a new API (difficult on
their end) or you suffer the hassle of using the "wrong" URL being submitted and
clean up after it with local processing (hassle on your end).

Since you have them in a local DB then consider sending them a back-channel
e-mail message requesting they stop sending the wrong URL.   Or otherwise report
an error message requesting they alter their ping request.
