["Tony" <isplists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are dozens of Perl scripts that will do this.
Check ImageGuard at http://www.syvilnet.com/syv/scripts.htm

Does mod_rewrite even do this? I was thinking the best thing for you/your
client to do is check the HTTP_REFERER and boot the user if it doesn't
match. (Do this with php/perl/python/heck, sh!.)

Mind you what you're trying to do is counteract what the web was set up
for.
