---- A Close to perfect .htaccess ban list

And I thought I had a huge .htaccess file Superman. Looks like mine will be as long as yours...

I have been thinking for some time now that I should implement a script that limits the number of page views for a unique visitor. This script would help stop all those folks who change thier useragent name to gain a offline copy of my website or other unidentified email bots etc. Now this script would allow all the good spiders and other simular folks all the access they want. Currently, my average visitor views about 5.9 pages per visit. With this knowledge I could limit a visit to say.. 20 page views a day before I redirect them. The script would redirect to a "Become a Member" page that would require registration. All the registered folks would be allowed unlimited access.

What am I missing?
