You need to put a robots.txt file in the server path with the following:

 

#                                          

# keep all robots out of entire site       

                                           

User-agent: *                              

Disallow: /

I have a server that gets about 1M hits per day. Over the past week,

this has exploded and the server is using about 80% of the cpu. We

figure that someone is using a webcrawler since when we analyze the

tomcat logs, there are thousands of hits from one ip address (every day

it's a different ip address).

 

 

 

Is there an open source or commercial product that will stop this?
