This helps a lot. I know about the robots.txt trick, but for the life of
me, I can't figure out where to put it. I'm using Mac OSX (Leopard), and
as you know, the server is inside of a Preference Panel. I've dug into
that "package" (Apple lingo), but I can't quite figure out what's the
root server directory where I'd put the robots.txt file. My guess is
that it'd be in
/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/HTML/ but
that only seems to have the skins.

My sense is that if I can figure out where to put that file, I'll be
all set. As for having it open to the world, I've never had a problem,
and if Google, et al aren't spidering it, it's really only findable if
I give ppl the info for it. (Worst case solution in that respect, since
I invite ppl to it, is just to password it if need be, but that's a
pain, esp when I access it with a tablet device).

I flushed the verbose logs, so I don't have the IP number of the Google
bot, but I did do a name lookup and it indeed resolved to a google
address.
