Thanks guys, all good answers. I review the Google URL Removal tool and it states to first use the other two rec's; 404/410 & meta=noindex.

The problem is that doing either of these would also impact the use of the dev site. If I add a meta tag to the code, it's too easy to accidentally post that to their live site and cause major issues. Same with triggering a 404/410 from code-behind.

Besides securing access from the server end, any thoughts on how to accomplish both of these from outside the page?
