that itself may be an issue. google will detect the frequent changes to bugzilla's dynamic pages, and revisit them often. having googling sucking down pretty much the entire contents of the bugzilla database at frequent intervals could well be a significant burden on the bugzilla server(s)... > Again, this is not reinventing.
