thanks. I do have a few other subdomains on the live server, like region.domain.com.
If I block robots from the dev subdomain, will the crawling of my other live subdomains be affected at all?
Am I correct to assume that blocking the root of the test server only applies to that subdomain?
Disallow: /
So the above, when placed in robots.txt in the root of the test server whose url is test.domain.com, will only apply to that subdomain.
I know I seem overly paranoid, but I don't want to screw anything up.
