Check your logs and see what the User-Agent header is for those requests - you may be lucky and have a hand full like "WebSpider" or "Googlebot" or similar. If this is the case, you can drop squid (or another proxy if you prefer) on your firewall, set it up to transparently proxy for the web server, and tell squid to deny requests with those User-Agent headers. If you're lucky! ;) Regards, Bernard. -- Bernard Blackham bernard at blackham dot com dot au Australian Linux Technical Conference 2003: http://www.linux.conf.au/
