Make a link on your main page (or even on every page) and use font tags to make the text colour the same as the background colour. Or use a 1x1 transparent gif image instead of text. When a client follows this link (a CGI script perhaps), it is blocked. Is there some easy way to block apache access on the fly? Dunno. Years back I ran into a spider trap script. It generated unique URL's each time it was called, so that a dumb spider would get trapped inside and spin forever.

[SLUG] Is there a bot-abuse list?
I know there is mail-abuse for listing open relay sites.
Is there an equivalent for bad search engine bots?
I currently have three search engines crawling my www and all three
ignore robots.txt. This means that they are determined to index about
40,000 stored Slug, 2600, htdig, etc messages. Two of them are working
at a fair clip as well.
A little Apache add-on that delayed the reply to requests from
particular IPs would be most welcome.
