I know this is an old post but I've just come up against this and whilst
all the above tactics work as described, it's a whole new ball game when
you throw Verity or Common Search into the mix. The orphan duplicates still
get indexed and thus returned in any search results.

I got around this by adding the following code to my foundation templates:
<reddot:cms>
  <if>
    <query valuea="String:<%inf_UrlOfCallingPage%>" operator="=="
valueb="String:<%inf_UrlOfCallingPageMainLink%>">
      <htmltext>
        <rde-dm:import>
          <keywords mode="set" keyword-separator=","
name-value-separator=":" hierachy-separator=".">
            IsMainLink:1
          </keywords>
        </rde-dm:import>
      </htmltext>
    </query>
    <query type="else">
      <htmltext>
        <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
      </htmltext>
    </query>
  </if>
</reddot:cms>

I then added (IsMainLink:1) to my search queries and - as if by magic - all
the duplicates disappeared :)

To explain the above code, it compares the URL of the Calling Page and the
URL of the Calling Page's Main Link. If they're the same thing, the page is
tagged. If the two values don't match, no tag is added and for good
measure, I put in a meta tag to prevent any external search engines finding
and indexing the orphan page.

So whilst this doesn't address the server space issue, the above and
aforementioned tactics prevent the page being linked to or found in search
results.

Cheers,

Gavin
