Hi folks,

I was intending to use .htaccess to ban bots based on User Agent being used 
by less than the nicest of Netizens using Spiders and Bots that do not 
follow exclusion protocol. I'm running Apache servers but the build is to 
support Frontpage 2000 and has problems such that mod_rewrite won't compile 
in without going through a lot of pain. Any ideas that won't make me go the 
SSL route?

Thanks,

Jim
