How is a text file any easier to update than an application.cfm file?

  You can do it in your application.cfm file.  I did this on our blog recently
  to block blog spammers.  Just create a structure that has the blocked IP's
  in it (can cache in application scope if it's a big structure) and on each
  request check if structKeyExists(badIps, cgi.remote_addr) and if so abort.
  Can get fancy and read the list from a text file to make it easy to update.

  HTH,

  So, without direct access to the server, there's a way in the
  application and robots.txt files that I can block specific IP addresses
  or bots from a specific sites?

  Point me to a doc on this somewhere please....

  Thanks,
