Hi again,
Actually since the ErrorDocument is re-directed I don't believe the server
returns an error code. In our case (I used to own easy.to till we sold it
to v3.com) it returned a META Refresh page and I don't remember ever having
any problems with Web spiders.
Give http://i.am/canadian a try if you wish to verify that.
Regards,
Rick

That will result in http requests exiting with error codes (404 or 403 or
whatever) and as such, web spiders will not follow those requests and will
not index the remote sites.
