Re: [cobalt-users] blocking a crawler



Shouldn't you be able to create a robot.txt to block access?

Just a thought.

I've been watching my /var/log/httpd/access logfile and I find that
crawler24.bos2.fast-search.net and crawler7.bos2.fast-search.net keep
accessing the same page on one site all day, every few seconds.

I have tried to contact the admin but have had no luck. How can I block
access to this IP? I don;t think httpd runs under tcp wrappers so I don;t
think putting the IP into /etc/hosts.deny does anything.
