Good job finding that little nugget of information. How about redirecting
all requests for robotxx.txt back to them? You know, to mess up their own
logs... I already do that with /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll, /MSOffice/cltreq.asp
and /_vti_pvt/service.pwd, all of which are redirected to
microsoft.com/eat_your_own_garbage .
