You may want to go check out the entire list of HTTP status headers, there maybe one more relevant to what you want to do.
But part of this question I see is how do the spiders find these sites in the first place? I presume there needs to be either links to the sites in other web pages that are being spidered or the site is being submitted to the search engines. Either of these situations should cause a spider to recheck the site, I presume they are not going to rely on a previous 410 for new requests, but I do not know for sure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
